and we’re back… again
The story from my host is that the power was cut off to the entire third floor of the place that my host collocates at. Some kind of improperly scheduled maintenance. My site went down sometime early on the ninth of March, Eastern time and has been sporadicly available since then, although this is the first time I’ve been able to login.
This is also why such sites as BugMeNot and RetailMeNot have been offline. Same host.
I’ve been meaning to post my impressions of my host, and now this timely outage. I suppose my synopsis would be: NearlyFreeSpeech.NET great prices, great service, no sluggish oversold shared hosting, no cut-n-paste email tech support, a truly outstanding privacy policy and unfortunately, lately, the hosting uptime of a free dot.bomb webhost.
Arguably, the uptime should not matter for someone who posts a few times a month, but it sure is annoying.
