Downtime, sorry

Tags: Uncategorized — Author: @ 9:41 am

Sorry about last night’s downtime. My web host, Dreamhost (or as I like to call them, “Dreamhose“) just shut me down without warning. They claim this blog uses too much CPU resources. This isn’t the first time this has happened, I’m working actively to help fix this situation, but all they do is turn on and off the site.

    I’ve changed quite a few hostings for the last 5 years, a good one is hard to find. I’ve signed up with these guys http://www.callery.net about a year ago and I can say that I am satisfied with their service. There was just once when the server was down due to an emergency repair. Support desk is also helpful, all tickets are taken care of the same day, they even called me back on my cell phone!!! I almost fell off my chair, never happened before. I don’t wanna sound like a sales person but you might wanna check them out.

    Hi,

    Don’t know if you know this but http://www.finnishschool.com is gone aswell. Hope this is just due to the hosting issue. Let me know if I can help somehow, I’m using it a lot and find it very useful.

    Can somebody post a link to the newest Conan O’Brien clip?

  • Phil

    Jonas – thanks for that info, i didn’t realize that was down as well.

    Thanks for that recommendation, Conan. Yeah, finding a good web host is impossible. I’ve been through four of them in about seven years. Dreamhost has been great until this bullshit.

    changing hosting sucks!! It’s like moving from one house to another, all these furniture and stuff, but sometimes it’s the only option.

    Phil, speaking of CPU load, as you know most of it comes from graphic files. I just ran through ACDSee all 6 new pictures of Conan O’Brien that you posted today and simply converted them from Truecolor (all 6 pix-180kb) to Highcolor (all 6 pix-138kb), the result is a saving of 42kb in total and quality is fine too.
