Web Hosting: credit where credit is due

Posted on by Ian C.

I know this might be tempting fate, but …

After my extreme upset with Site5 a while ago, I’m pleased to say that since that awful period of unreliability & excessive downtime, my hosting with Site5 has been trouble free.

I notice that Site5 have removed a few features – they apparently no longer offer guaranteed uptime, and a host status page they used to have for each host machine is no longer accessible.
There are some new features offered instead which might interest some people – their latest special offer on hosting is impressive ($5/month for 55GB storage! Pre-paid for two years though)

So, Site5: Well Done! But please keep the service as good as it is now, and not like it was for a while!

I read today the very sad news that another MINI friend, Ruthie, passed away recently!

See this MINI2 thread for condolences.

Like her friend Ed / MaxaMINI who died last year, she touched many MINI foks online; her many threads included a favourite of mine – the Amateur Photographers Roll Call on MINI2 (I think you have to be a MINI2 member to access this off-topic thread).

I first met Ruthie at Eds memorial last year, and happily met her again at the Dining with Ed gathering – now perhaps she & Ed can meet up once more.
