Lordy Lordy – Its finally back online!

Tag: GeneralPaul C. @ 5:53 pm

Sorry for the downtime folks. Here is a brief explanation…well, I will try to be brief:
For the last five years, I have had my website hosted with blueHost.com. They were a great hosting provider, and as of right now, they are offering unlimited domains, unlimited storage space, unlimited bandwidth for their hosting packages. Now to me, that says “I can host the holy heck out of some websites!”.
Apparently this is not the case – false advertising in my eyes. My account was consuming, what they claim, way too much CPU time for the database backend on my websites. It was slowing the server down and the insisted that I should hire someone to “fix my code”. But here is the catch – all the software that run the websites I host on my account are provided by an installer program in their hosting control panel. I point and click, and its installed. Granted, I did do customization, but nothing extreme.
So, after five years, I can now say BlueHost.com can suck an egg. The downside of all this is when my account goes down, so does:
ajallen.net
HearnHappenings.com
LaryAndNarni.com
KurtAndJodie.com
GSGates.net
Go2Fast.net
GoTooFast.com
92turbo.com

So I now have to figure out what I need to do to help all my friends get their servers back online. All during the biggest three work weeks I’ve had in my 7.5 years at Car-Part.com. I’ve been working 6 days a week and many nights during those weeks to tackle problems like internet outages, power outages, and upgrades.
I have a vacation planned in April – going back to Sanibel Island with my families and taking little Sean with me! Emily will get some time off at home!
We will try to catch you up on what has happened over the last few days/week.
