I am about to leave my host so over the next two or three days things might be patchy and even disappear for a short while as the new DNS records kick in.
I have been with DreamHost for a couple of years. They seem like nice people and the support team have been helpful and good to me. But I rather suspect that they are suffering from their own success. Sell cheap - stack ‘em high. There is just too much competition for servers and cabling and too often my site loads as if I was back on dial-up. Sadly they have no option between the cheap and cheerful and the dedicated server so I am moving on.
The next couple of days will see things patchy here and, while the new DNS server records kick in who knows? Email may disappear briefly as well. I will be closing down comments in about an hour so that I can start the process of moving my database.
I will also be locking the forum into ‘read only’ mode until things are back to normal.
And all being well, that will be very soon.
[UPDATE: Well one or two little scares but as before I am always astonished at how easy such a move really is. All back to normal I hope!]
Wow, your very reckless !I see you"ll use your new option "read only, for all the forum".Finally, it"s a good option.
Good luck, and hope to see you again
Well that explains why I can"t download the latest version of SimpleForum! Of course, if only I would have done it when I received the notification I would have saved myself loads of hassle.
Thanks for a great product!!
So who you moving to? Am in the midst of trying to find a different hosting co myself and was going to go with Dreamhost, maybe not now?
I am moving to Bytehaven WebWorks. This is run by a friend, fellow WP user and also a user of some of my plugins. The problem with DreamHost is inconsistency. Much of the time (here in the UK) everything would be fine but you could always tell when the USA started to wake up! And when things ground to a halt the answer was always the same: "There was a heavy load on your server". As I say - they seem like nice people but i think they have attracted more business then they can deal with and still retain the throughput.
I have not moved to get extra speed of delivery - just a more consistent speed more of the time!
