Hosting cock-up

[DaveNotSoSideways]

No idea what went on. Still working on resolution. Sorry chaps.

[Mother Teresa]

No probs- just glad it wasn't a glitch my end! I was a bit lost when it was down though, didn't realise how much I enjoyed the site until it wasn't here .

All I know is it get very slow, then stopped.

 

Glad it's back online

There was a major ISP issue yesterday nailing everyone on my package, seems my account was disabled. I love the way you can speak to 4 people yet noone can even offer an explaination and you get bumped around departments, what is the point of having tech support when they cannot even tell you what the problem is or help you or give a timeframe for repair?

 

The hosting has been a bit jumpy lately so I will look into another company?

 

Anyone know any decent small hosting companies, need a linux package for this forum? Same deal everytime I get involved with large companies...I don't like large companies, I don't like the impersonal service and total lack of instant resolution to problems.

You could try NDO http://www.ndo.com/ - they're the ISP I use but they also appear to do hosting. Not the cheapest around but have always had good support from them.

I've always used Racksense - they're nice and small and get back to you really quick. UK based.

I use a few isp's for various websites

 

34sp.com - Super reliable awesome service, but you pay for what you get.  example : www.graemeinglis.com

Fasthosts - Good Speed Reliable but not much support and average packages  example : www.mattinglis.com

Patrick Internet - Small Host but great value for money and good support, just not sure about reliability as the least used website runs off them  website offline at moment so no example

 

All my sites are php linked to mysql dynamic sites.

How much bandwidth is the site using at the moment?

 

Avoid FastHosts like the clap:

During all good blackouts there is a baby boom.........

Great to see the forum back online. I'm gonna lurk a while and see if I can break the 88 days barrier.   :DI've been stuck on it for ages...

I'm on pretty much all day every day, even if just lurking in the background while i'm working but never get above the 4 days, is strange!

I use Andrews & Arnold http://www.aaisp.net/ who also have the rather amusing url, http://sod.ms/

Yes, its jammed and at exactly the speed I need to travel through time. Strange that. Its just that my post count dropped below the 1.2 gigaposts a day to enable me to power me to actually travel. (I'm sure i've written this before). Deja Vu.  ;D
