Skhilled.com Downtime
« on: April 20, 2010, 10:10:30 AM »
I am changing hosting so my sites, skhilled.com and Doc Skillz (and my test sites) may or may not be available to you over the next 72 hours. I'll post something when it is complete. :)

Changing to another host is always a bother, but sometimes it just has to be done. Who are you changing to Steve?

Aspiration Hosting

I've used them before right after TPH went down and they were pretty good. Very quick to respond, etc. They reason why I left was I was not used to hosting that used 755 permissions. You need to reset permissions if you install any mods. Back then, they did not have SSH available to clients and it was a bother to do it via FTP.

They now have it, although it is $1/month.

We have CG hosting here on the FF.
http://gcwebhosting.com/

It's really good, with very little downtime or issues, but it has the 755 thing as well. It's not so bad after you get used to it.

I almost went with them once but the amount of databases was too small. Can't test anything with only 6 db's.

Stupid me changed nameservers BEFORE getting my backups!  :opps:

Have to change back then get backups then change them yet again.  :hah:

I hear ya. :)

Been thinking that my domain needs to be hosted under some third party, like Go-Daddy maybe, so that a move is not as difficult as it is with everything on one host. Of course, GC has given such good service that I don't really expect to move anytime soon.

Got the backup, finally. Now to change nameservers again. :P

Do not use Godaddy for hosting. They are not good from everyone I know that has used them. They also do not use cPanel which I know from moving clients from them to TPH.

Their domain registar is first rate, though. I've always had my domain and a few others registered there for many years and have yet to have any problems.

The domain registry was what I was talking about, their rep as a host is not very good.

just on a side note, I kept the domain reg site we had from tph, and still run it now, but only for friends and sell them at cost.

hanks for the info. I still have privacy from when I was at TPH and still do not have to pay. LOL I assume that I will not have to pay for it anymore as long as I own the domain. heehee

OK, now having major server issues on the new server shown in when logging into cPanel...

"Sorry for the inconvenience!

The filesystem mounted at / on this server is running out of disk space. cPanel operations have been temporarily suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system admin to remove any files not in use on that partition."
