Hello,

We are making some changes to the mailing list and need to delete all of the emails that are currently registered. Service updates were previously hosted on the same WordPress site. This resulted in 1000s of email addresses being hosted on the mailing list which has started to slow down delivery of important announcements – sometimes by several hours.

If you are using any of the following services then please re-subscribe your email address at http://status.bellonline.co.uk/mailing-list/

Web Hosting, Shoutcast, AutoDJ, Transcoding, Dedicated Servers (you can view a full list of categories on the site)

If you are using FreeStreamHosting.org then please don’t sign up for this mailing list, you will be sent another email shortly with further instructions.

As before, you will be sent a link to confirm your subscription and choose the categories you’d like to sign up to.

We recommend that you choose updates for the server(s) that you are hosted on to avoid receiving emails that don’t affect your service. If you are unsure about which server(s) you are on then please open a support ticket and we will be happy to get the information for you.

Regards,

Bell Online Ltd- http://status.bellonline.co.uk/

  • Value network added to new CP

I’m pleased to announce that all value network Shoutcast servers have been added to the new control panel at http://streampanel.mixstream.net/

If you have Shoutcast servers on the value network, then you can log in with the same details that you use for your billing account. You will now see all of your servers under a single control panel.

The overall aim of the new control panel is to bring all streaming services ‘under one roof’ so that there are not multiple panels to log in to for customers that are hosted on different value/premium servers.

There are some limitations:

  • If your billing username(email) is different to that of your normal control panel login, then the servers won’t be displayed. If this is the case then please open a support ticket to get your account updated.
  • The new panel will not yet work for resellers and the customers of resellers. A separate panel will be made for this.

If you find any problems with the new panel then please open a support ticket.

Extra notes:

Customers with transcoders will also see their transcoders inside this control panel

Premium networks servers are going to be added in the next few days

AutoDJ will be added in the next few weeks

  • [maintenance] Value network servers

I’ll be performing maintenance on all value network servers over the next couple of days. This involves some changes to the databases and some general OS updates.

The database changes won’t make any different to the functionality of the control panel, they are just required for a new control panel I’ve been working on which has more features, and brings all services under one roof (so you can view premium and value servers as well as AutoDJ, transcoders etc with a single login).

No downtime is expected on streams, however you may find that each control panel will show a mysql error for about 30 seconds at most.

  • Value control panel fully functional

Anyone trying to log in at http://mixstream.net/?page=Login to get onto the value network may have seen a blank screen after logging in. This was caused by apache crashing on one of the servers (usa3-vn).

This has now been resolved. After investigation, I have found that no streams were affected by this in any way.

  • Value network update

I will be performing an update on the systems used for stopping/starting streams today. All shoutcast streams will need restarting, but this will only cause a few seconds of downtime and then the servers will come back up automatically.

This is intended to resolve any issues with servers randomly stopping as reported by a small number of customers.

The restarts will be performed over the next few hours.

UPDATE: This is now complete on all servers apart from USA3-VN which needs some more work before the change can be made. Updates will be posted here on any maintenance. This will be within the next week.
