0 Hosting - Stability 1 Aaron Hackett posted 8 Years Ago I've been working in ROCK now for a few months and really enjoy the experience. Especially compared to many other options out there. However, I'm not super great at all the geeky ASP.net stuff. I've got it running on a server at mywindowshosting.com and seem to get consistent, regular exceptions. My question is this: What are your recommendations to stable, worry free hosting? We are a church plant and don't have a IT guy on our team, and don't have a ton of cash, but want our precious data to be safe and love the power and flexibility of ROCK. Maybe you could chip in who you are using to hostwhat the costs are who is keeping it running, staff member or do you pay someone off site Thank you for your help.
Aaron Hackett 8 years ago Jim, thank you.I'll check out 3Essentials.It's good to know that some exceptions are going to happen.A couple exceptions I'm seeing are:Invalid length for a Base-64 char array or string.URL routing has not been configured correctly - that is for http://www.thehousechurch.tv/default.aspxThere are some others, but those are the two that seem to keep coming back.
Jim Michael 8 years ago I've seen those base64 ones here and haven't been able to pinpoint the cause, but they don't seem to be affecting the experience from what I can tell. As for your URL routing exception, this looks like something (likely a bot) trying to access a page from and old server... did you by chance move www.thehousechurch.tv from a prior system that used default.aspx in its URLs?
Nick Airdo 8 years ago Aaron, we had a similar issue when we converted from another system so we dropped a custom Default.aspx into the particular place to handle various old-system "page" requests. It looks something like this:<%@ Page Language="C#" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %><%string pageId = Request.QueryString["page"];if ( pageId == "5643" ){ Response.RedirectPermanent( "<a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='http://www.centralaz.com/Mesa"'>http://www.centralaz.com/Mesa"</a> );}else if ( pageId == "5644" ){ Response.RedirectPermanent( "<a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='http://www.centralaz.com/Gilbert"'>http://www.centralaz.com/Gilbert"</a> );}...else if ( pageId == "5614" ){ Response.RedirectPermanent( "<a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='http://www.centralaz.com/BibleStudies"'>http://www.centralaz.com/BibleStudies"</a> );}else if ( pageId == "3490" ){ Response.RedirectPermanent( "<a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='http://www.centralaz.com/NeedPrayer"'>http://www.centralaz.com/NeedPrayer"</a> );}else if ( pageId == "4215" ){ Response.RedirectPermanent( "<a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://www.centralaz.com/about"'>https://www.centralaz.com/about"</a> );}else if ( ! string.IsNullOrEmpty( pageId ) ){ Response.Redirect( "<a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='http://staging.centralaz.com/Arena/default.aspx?"'>http://staging.centralaz.com/Arena/default.aspx?"</a> + Request.QueryString.ToString() );}else{ Response.Redirect("<a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='http://www.centralaz.com/"'>http://www.centralaz.com/"</a>);}%>Sorry about this horrible encoding problem. You can copy-paste this into a decoder (such as http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/htmlencode/decode.aspx) to see what it's supposed to look like.
