I don’t mind being foreclosed and “The world’s most hated blogger”<\/a> but being down really REALLY sucks!<\/p>\n

With the CNET<\/a> coverage yesterday (and also a Podcast<\/a> and a similar article on ZDNet<\/a>) being down all day was very very bad. <\/p>\n

My old provider has been coming down quite often because my site has been going over the CPU usage quota a lot. So I wanted to switch it over to dedicated for some time. My old provider was taking a loooong time to get the dedicated server provisioned…<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

I didn’t want to risk anymore downtime so I went ahead and bought a dedicated box from GoDaddy.com<\/a>. Go daddy’s crappy server didn’t work even though I followed the instructions precisely. They also refused to give me support since I bought the bare-bones self-supported server for $80. <\/p>\n

So I switched the site back to my old provider yesterday, knowing that I may come down again if the site hits the CPU limit (it’s a semi-dedicated box and they don’t want any one site to tie up the CPU too much). I can put in a ticket and they will bring it back up but there will be 10-30 mintues of downtime. That’s still better than being down the whole day! <\/p>\n

But at the same time the semi-dedicated server is free, thanks to Zewg.com<\/a>. So I can’t complain too much. I just wish we planned this out a little better.<\/p>\n

I’m told I will be in the slideshow at #3 position on the front page of MSN<\/a> tonight midnight until 9am tomorrow PST.<\/p>\n

This is the worst time to have server downtime!! All you other bloggers, learn from me and make sure your blog has rock-solid hosting. You never know when you get featured somewhere and get tons of traffic over night. <\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Speaking of traffic and exposure (and haters)… my wife wants me to shut the blog down. She has had enough and she has very valid points. So I have a very hard decision to make. I will save that for another post. <\/p>\n
