In case you are wondering … (from Gabes other web site):
My other weblog, MotoringFile, is currently down. We are currently upgrading the site to a new host. We had planned on having minimal downtime this weekend however, due to circumstances out of our control, things will take a bit longer than anticipated. We expect the site to be back up sometime on Sunday just in time to post some more juicy bits of info.
Seems like Gabe has finished with PowWeb too, like I did a while back!
Damn straight. In fact the reason it’s down currently is due to Powweb. If they had handled things appropriately we would have only been down for a short time Sunday afternoon.
As one other person has said before, if anyone is looking for an awesome web host, check out Site5.com. I have been with many different hosting companies and have never been more happy than I am now. These guys are top notch, with excellent customer service, fantastic add-ons, and I have not experienced any downtime since I’ve been with them. Just Google them and you’ll see the rave reviews.
I just brought MotoringFile back up.
Ryan thanks for the pointer to site5. They are the first “cheap” solution to offer a dedicated IP address that I can find. Do you also get a linux shell?
Josh- I didn’t get a Linux shell, but I know it’s available. I am not that good with shell commands, so I prefer to ftp most of my things. I didn’t pay for a static IP but I have one anyways. Perhaps they were feeling generous that day. Their new Superhosting plans are near unbeatable today. And to have such fast CS reponse times…it’s really an awesome opportunity. Plus, they have a reseller option. *thanks for letting us banter on here Ian*
