This blog was down for most of the day, but seems to be fully functional again. It’s hosted on DreamHost, and the System Status forum there was full of complaints, as you’d expect.
Apparently the servers were down for a few hours last week too, and people in the forum were complaining about lost sales in the holiday season. Other posters pointed out that if you depend on a server for your income, you should invest in a top quality service. Don’t depend on a shared server, using a service plan designed for personal use or small businesses.
My main site, Contextures, and Contextures Blog, have been hosted by longhead.com since 2001. Longhead is owned by Jake Marx, a former Excel MVP. There have been a couple of blips along the way, but the customer service is great, and the few problems have been sorted out very quickly.
I hope your web site is on a dependable server, and the web host gives you great customer service.
