Sorry about the downtime today
I’m really getting upset at my hosting provider. I’ve been using the same dedicated server host since the spring of 2006 when I initially went there to host thepokerdb.com. But I asked them to do something REALLY simple last week and they’ve screwed it up like 8 times since then. First they make the change to the wrong server, then they fix the change but break something else, then they fix what they broke and they cause another problem, etc, etc.
Basically, the server has been “up” the entire time but they keep breaking the ability of the public to access it. When I get on the Virtual Private Network (VPN) I’ve been able to get on the server the whole time — which makes everything really frustrating because it means the problem is just some dumb configuration change that I don’t know how to fix AND they don’t know how to fix.
Needless to say, I’m in the process of looking into other webhost providers. I’ll look into any dedicated server hosting recommendations.
Anyway, I hate the stress of web host difficulty. It really hard for me to deal with the helplessness feeling and right now I think I need a drink.
