Arrow Merry Christmas!

I'd like to dedicate this Christmas message to Verio hosting in London for the 9 hours of monthly recurring MySQL downtime that remains totally unexplained, and is, according to them, "Just one of those things."

British hosting

You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on

That is pretty funny.

Sucks about your hosting… I know you do know of some very good hosting through.

Hi Surfn
I can accept some downtime here and there... no host is perfect, but 9 hours without any reasonable explaination? It went down around midnight GMT, I phoned at 12:30am and then again at 2:30am, and it was still down this morning at 8:59am. This is happening regularly since August, and Verio still have no idea why it is happening.

Cleo, if I hadn't paid Verio a whole years hosting up front, I'd be moving the site to http://www.colo-cation.com/ for sure.

I've made a ton of really bad decisions while tilling my own few acres of this porn kingdom. I can honestly say that moving away from Colo was the biggest. (It's also the only thing I've done online in which my wife has told me that it was a truly stupid move.) During my very, very, very (did I say very?) slow move, Chris has kept my other sites up and running smoothly, which is why Link List Pro remained up and strong while Filthy Earl and Whoring Wives were non-existent for a full 24+ hours due to another host (Not mentioning any names cough, cough skilledhost.com) eating a shit sandwich.

That was nice Useless. I know Sparky felt hurt and he would have never taken your sites down that you left there.

urb, I just sent you a PM
And, Sparky (http://www.colo-cation.com) started taking care of my hosting needs in 1997, I believe. Except for a breif time when he didn't, I have never had a hosting problem.
