Post by rich »

The forums will be unavailable for a brief period in the early morning this Sunday, February 25th, at 12 midnight Pacific - 3 AM Eastern - 8 AM UTC while our provider repairs a critical fault in its power distribution system.

Their notification and the comments of a bunch of people running around like the sky is falling can be read <a href="http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2007/02/ ... /">here</a>. :)

We just transferred to DH from Lunar Pages a few weeks ago. I am in shock…in my 3+ years with LP, not once did the site go down for multiple hours (or even an hour)…and they offer hosting at $7 a month…


This is strike one…

That really sucks. We’ve just transfered hosting this week, and it has been a nightmare. Our email has been down for 3 days, and when I emailed the dreamhost support it bounced on their side.

What do I do? Anyone got suggestions of a better hosting service?
Dear Giles: Apparently Lunar Pages is both perfect and cheap. I can't imagine why Andres changed :lol:.

.......
I mean just buy 1 server in the most boring landlocked midwest state and let it at least serve dns and dreamhomestatus.com throughout outages.

Let me know if you’d like help setting it up.
michael is right. Nothing ever goes wrong here and Iowa would love to have your business.

Thanks for the warning and the laughs :lol:.
