Board Thread:Modded Servers/@comment-27219153-20170114185012

About two weeks ago, I changed the status of many servers if I found they were offline. I changed a few back to offline as it occurred to me that some may have been down for maintenance at the time of my first edit. I also checked at the time of writing this to verify the status, but I found no more were online than there were at the time of my previous edit.

My goal in performing edits such as these is to try to provide the most accurate information possible. For a player trying to find a server, it can get really frustrating if all servers they try to join say they are online but in reality they are offline.

There are still several servers that don't keep consistent uptime. I believe most hosting providers that are made specifically for minecraft have a feature that can restart a server if it goes offline (please correct me if I'm wrong). If your hosting provider is not specifically designed for minecraft, you are probably using a startup script to start your server. You can make a startup script that will restart the server if it ever goes down. I know this doesn't solve repeating crashes, but it should help with non-repeating crashes.
