I got a few emails today letting me know the site was down, which made me happy because they were from people I don’t know, so I am pleased that people actually read me. So thanks!

Anyway, it was completely my fault - I switched webhosts last night, who by the way are absolutely amazing and the transition was done for me and was nearly seamless. I wouldn’t have had any downtime at all, but I messed up and didn’t notice a couple of my databases weren’t matched up properly before I told my old host to go ahead and shut me down. It was fine, but I just couldn’t remember which matched up with which (oops) and then couldn’t go back and reference the old setup.

Anyway, once I got home from work and had time to really look, I realized it was that simple and fixed it.

Props to my new Host for being willing to go in and completely reinstall from backup if I couldn’t fix it though - I know its a pain in the ass and my fault completely for being overeager.

Anyway, I switched to Drak.net (plugplugplug) which was a really hard decision for me because I had been with my old host since shortly after they opened (8ish years, I think?) but the past two years have been really rough on the customer service end (and I am a very low maintenance customer). They have become rude and downright nasty sometimes, and I have just been waiting to find someone else. I used to use Draknet free webhosting AGES and AGES ago and when someone mentioned them the other day, I decided to check them out.

A) Better pricing

B) Better balance on features for each account level

C) Customer service has been A+ so far. From the Support emails while transferring to the support chat guy I talked to before making my decision, it has been EXCELLENT.

I am very pleased.
