What's the hosting company that you use?

At least WebHost4Life warned you about it first. When my machine became "unstable" they blamed my site, and just shut it down. But, they are so cheap ($20/month), considering how must bandwidth I go thru, that I'm still there (for now).

"What's the hosting company that you use?"

webhost4life.com

It's cheap.

It has issues, but the $19.95/month keeps me there.

Thanks for the warning. Now I can keep my panic to a minimum by just continually chanting "he's coming back, he's coming back.."

Want to write a Text Adventure together while we wait for you to come back up?

Speaking of which, George, what ever happened to that engine we were supposed to be writing?

LOL! I was hoping you'd forget that....

I did start it, but I never finished...hmm..maybe I'll re-add that to my list of side projects. It was fun looking into it, just for you I'll take another look at it to see if I can get the gumption to complete something for once.

Maybe by next Code Camp I'll have something to show? Now where did I save that project at....

Not just you Rory, I got the same email from them. I wonder if all of their servers got "unstable" and they are just doing some sort of consolidation.

You have got to be kidding me! Now what am I supposed to do with all of my time?

Sit in a dark corner, chain smoke (without a rifle), wondering what to do next?

Insanity I tell ya! ;)

What???? You dont' have a stop gap arrangement? No failover systems? Now what would I do at work???? You have any idea how much mental anguish you are causing me? This is the *best* thing happenign in my life right now and you are screwing me over... What kind of customer service is this? I thought you guys were known for servicing customers... Sheesh!

Put 2 and 2 together... they oversold their bandwidth just like gmail oversells their space. You start podcasting and then (shudder) videocasting, and they had to move you to a new server or even a new networrk altogether.

NNOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!

Bummer.

"webhost4life". Now there's a catchy name that just rolls of your tongue. I always try to envision the creative process behind genuinely impotent company names. As usual, it's hard to decide what's funnier: the vision of someone bending forward with enthusiasm, crying "I've got it! webhost4life!" or the merry manager gathering his papers, knocking their edges twice on the table, exclaiming "that settles it, we've got a winner!". (An alternative vision is that of a room misty with bad air, where some overweight, sweaty guy with loose shirt sloping in his chair says "what about webhost4life then?", and a manager with a growing headache wearily exhales "we'll go for that. I can't take anymore".)

Rory I'm dissapointed you don't co-locate. This will in all seriousness affect my life quite terribly I will find a friend to get through it with.

Hope you do a backup yourself - ime cheap hosting companies aren't always great at recovering stuff from backups.

...but I just found you!...

advance warning before downtime? what a novel concept!

by comparison: my hosting company's philosophy seems to be "just take it down and hope noone notices"

I have only just discovered the blogs and now they are disappearing,what a shame... In particular Matthew David White's one! I found it intreguing. Would like to read more and contact him.

... I'm scared...

OK, I'm ready, I've been psyching myself up for the last two days. I can handle anything.

Take it down.

But, please, be quick if you can take it down between midnight and 5am when I'm sleeping that would be better for me.

What you don't realise is that this site is running of a 360. The power supply needs replacing.
