Down Times

January 26, 2008 · Print This Article

I am really getting pissed off with our webhost. Imagine having several incidence of your site going offline for a couple of hours for the last two weeks, even though their hosting plan says that you have 1,500 Gigabyte of hosting space and a whopping 15,000 Gigabyte of transfer. Even with just 20% of CPU usage, I think 3,000 Gigs are enough to keep us running. Either the sites hosted in this account have grown insanely popular or BlueHost is simply becoming unreliable. Either way, it is us clients who suffers.

Pardon the ranting. I do have plans of solving this issue and it will commence next month. For the meantime, the next time you visit and find my site not loading, please do visit back after a couple of hours.

    Sorry to hear that. I thought BlueHost was one of the reliable web hosts. I’m planning to leave my current webhost and I’m in the process of finding a new one. HostGator seems to be a good option but then I could be wrong.

    Ah yes, I know the feeling. Crappy web hosts could really drive you insane. I hope things work out for you soon.

    @ Jaypee: Really? You’re leaving DreamHost? This is interesting. BTW, HostGator seems nice, I have a reseller account with them and so far the experience is good.

    All I can say is there is no web host who really have a 100% uptime. I guess the best thing to look for is one that can give you transparency and good support.

    i have been coming to and fro for the nth time and all I find is a blank page with the firefox message.

    sorry to hear that. I have experienced this same dilemma before and it really gets on your nerves.

    di kaya minsan eh sabi lang nila na ganun yung discspace na offer nila pero hindi pala? hmmmmm

    Puff!

    Hope things are back to normal, for as long as the world turns, there’ll be night and day - there’ll always ‘gold’ at the end of the rainbow.

    Take it easy.

    JAYPEE,
    i guess they used to be. im plannig to trasfer to another host as well and crossing my finger that my experience will be a better one.

    JHAY,
    thanks. i hope it does.

    FERDZ,
    im really not disappointed because of the downtime but because they cannot provide the reason why and the time i can expect it to be up. :( im not after 100% uptime just 100% honesty.

    BLUE,
    my take is that they are offering such huge amount of space knowing that no one could really fill it up. it is nice to know that you have a terabyte of cyber real estate but in reality you only have 20% of the area to move around. businessman calls it - marketing! :(
    K,
    thanks. i’ll keep that in mind. ;)
