I was in that area last week and there was not any outages in the offices where I had meetings. Then I went to One Wilshire and they were not down either.

This host was the biggest mistake in my life. They have not taken any responsibility with bugs in their Plesk system and email not coming to me (i.e. 24,000+ that got trapped in their servers) but are good at crisis PR.

I am bummed because I was hoping they would be hassle free and I like Plesk. Now I need to find another California based host due to legal reasons and my clients who demand I move due to this outage on a Friday during business hours. The weekend would be tolerated but there is no excuse to me.

Karmatosed: Yeah – always good to get the heck off this thing now and then.

Yep, took the advice of stepping away from the net for the evening. Nice break and all was well in the morning. My stuff was down as on MT too – but I am happy also as they responded quickly and did what could with a happy nature about it.

It’s not too unlikely that 9rules uses a data centre/telecom carrier hotel like 151 Front Street or Harbour Centre.

[...] As some of you no doubt noticed, our site was down for a little while this afternoon. It seems that a very big problem happened, one that was completely uncontrollable, and has now been resolved. If you’d like to see any details, I wrote a note about it on my blog. [...]

I’m so glad that it isn’t just me this time that’s down. But, I thought we were over all the power problems in CA. Oh well.
Thanks for the heads up.

Yea this is just one of those things you can’t control at all. And MT calling you is just awesome. What a service.

Joshua: I don’t believe it is the fault of (mt) nor DH. I think this is something definitely out of their control.

So much for using the trendy host.

MT could not handle all the gradients and wet-floor logos.
