Servers… we love them when they’re up, we hate them when they’re down… I must admit I didn’t begin this day with the thought that I upload an image of electrical connectors… but they were the only thing I had at hand that illustrates at all my topic this evening, the frustration at servers going down randomly causing our our websites and blogs to go with them.
I won’t publicly slam my hosting service, because I’d say 99% of the time they are up and online, their tech support is superb and the cost is minimal. But I felt so out of control this morning when I wanted to upload a new post and the server was down again, the third time in the last week. I called to check on what was happening and I was told they are tracking down a user or users who are taking too many resources and causing the crashes.
Hope you’re having a good evening, and hoping my server stays up now for a while!
i hate that feeling of being suddenly cut off from the world, too!
So frustrating!
It seems you have more of this problem than you should have, but I understand the predicament re: the hassle of changing a service provider.
I really don’t even want to consider changing servers… ugh!
I CAN RELATE… a few weeks ago I woke up and NO INTERNET, NO PHONE and NO TV… yowsa, all day long, 8 hours.
tried calling the cable co and got a busy signal. i was frantic and bored to tears. seems the lightning hit the server. or so they said…. then a few day later same thing happened and the truth came out…. they did not want to tell us but a hacker hacked in and shut them down. i am betting that is what happened to yours. our newspaper reported this, the CC never admitted it happened.
I hadn’t thought of that, sounds very plausible though…
Frustrating with a capital F!
Yup… no doubt about that!
Amazing what a humongous impact that can have! Oh the stories I could tell and the complaints I could lodge! Suffice it to say you have my sympathies!
Thanks, Kay… that helps!
I was down or Blogger was having issues last night. Just when I needed to get stuff done.
I noticed that… I tried to post some comments on blogger and all I got was an error…
