Why does not "VC" work? VKontakte website does not work: what should I do?
Dependence on social networks is considered one of the most serious "cyber-illnesses". Every day, tens of millions of users around the globe visit their personal accounts, communicating with friends, discussing the latest developments in the world. Social networks are so tightly integrated into our lives that it seems unusual to spend a day, even if for a second not looking there. According to statistics, only about 30% of the population use the VKontakte social network in Russia every day.
How is the "VC" arranged?
For many, this social network is just a means of communication, and they rarely reflect on the principles of its work. Nevertheless, it should be given to the developers, because the project works quite stably, despite the huge number of requests (about 200 billion a day). The server "VKontakte" is located in four data centers in Moscow and in St. Petersburg, and their number is estimated at about ten thousand, with all the colossal load.
Reasons for inaccessibility of "VC"
Inaccessibility of individual services
Suspending the operation of peripheral programs
Many install special add-ons for "VKontakte", which give more opportunities to use social networking - plug-ins. Very popular are various video and audio uploaders and browser add-ons, allowing you to communicate in the mode of browsing sites. It often happens that "VK Sawer" does not work. What to do in this case? Tip number one - reinstall the add-on. There are errors in the system that block the program, which can be fixed by reinstalling the component.
Stop the work of VKontakte
Inaccessibility of the social network, there are always reasons, because problems - this is tens of thousands of dollars lost to the company. Why does not "VC" work? In most cases, this is due to the loss of communication between the servers and users' computers, namely, if this happens because of the company, then the fault lies with the provider providing communication services for VKontakte.
Signs of inoperability "VKontakte"
When the social network is about to stop working, there are signals that indicate a failure. This is because for each segment of the system a separate server is responsible, and, basically, only one breaks, and the rest continue to function for some time. The operating personnel notices the malfunction, disconnects all other servers, eliminates the breakdown and starts the devices again. Rarely problems can be solved without disconnecting power. For example, if you notice that messages are missing or any other data, it means that "VC" does not work, and now it will be turned off.
Mobile application "VC"
Mobile application "VKontakte" for various platforms can be considered one of the most popular programs in the Market. Millions of people use it every day, so stopping his work also will not go unnoticed. A separate group of servers is responsible for it, which has a connection with the main ones. Therefore, it often happens that the application does not work, and with the site version everything is in order. Nevertheless, such breakdowns have a local scale, so if "VC" does not work, today it will be restored. Perhaps the problem is in the version of the program itself. To do this, it is recommended to update it from the official platform application store. Sometimes the speed of the Internet does not allow you to download data, in which case you need to test it on other sites. If they open well, and the data in the application does not load, it means that it does not work. We need to wait and try again. Usually the work is established within two to three hours.
What to do if you can not log into the account in the "VC"
If the "VC" does not work, what to do in this situation? First you need to make sure you have a network connection on your computer, and if it's okay, then try to go to the site through an anonymizer - a special site that allows you to change your IP address and bypass the filter. If it turned out, then the problem is that the site was added to the list of unwanted ones. To resolve this issue, contact the network administrator or the person who installed the filter. If this does not help, you should contact the official VKontakte representative on Twitter. There, the administration quickly places information about the inaccessibility of the site and the estimated time of recovery. Problems with the mobile application can be caused by the inaccessibility of its servers, which will also be reported in the official Twitter of the organization. In this case, you can try to enter the social network through mobile browsers.
The largest outages
Recently, the site has not stopped its work for a long time, and there were few questions as to why the "VC" does not work. The last trip was recorded on January 24, 2015 at approximately 8 pm Moscow time. The biggest one in recent times can be considered a summer trip due to anomalous heat. Then "VKontakte" was turned off a little less than a day to give the technician a breather and create a small cooling system. Now glitches in work of a site occur once or twice a month, however so was not always. In the period of rapid development of the project, when the audience increased in geometric progression, the "VC" was switched off several times a day, after which it was decided to expand the technical base.
Conclusion
So, we figured out why the VKontakte site is sometimes unavailable. Due to the fact that this is a very large system, it is difficult to keep track of every little thing, so there are occasional failures. Sometimes they are given by peripheral programs, for example, if "VC Sawer" does not work, but this has no relation to the social network. One, if the "VC" does not work, now it will be in the service centers to set it up and soon access will be restored. In any case, the inaccessibility of the project for many is a great disappointment, although this is wrong, because we have time to rest and take on more important things, such as walking and hobbies. As its creator, Pavel Durov advised, it is not necessary to allow virtual communication to replace the real one. Probably, his departure from the project is connected with the rethinking of certain values of life. As he stated in his last interview, what he created will sooner or later swallow him up.
