server turbulence

18 July 2006

Sorry for the past month or so of spotty uptime – Aetheri seems to be having ongoing issues with the servers and colocation center (most due to CPanel). They’re getting less frequent, and the status updates are nice. Still, it’s kind of annoying for me (and, I imagine, doubly so for you readers).

Have you tried to get to the site while it was down? Do you have any recommendations on inexpensive, reliable hosting? Let me know about either. Micah and I are sharing a ‘lifetime plan’ with Aetheri, but if their track record stays this poor into next year we might be tempted to change hosts.

Update:

Aetheri has relaunched as Leafyhost, and are rolling out their new cpanel replacement (called, go figure, Leafypanel). The uptime has been miles better lately, so unless their datacenter explodes we’ll be sticking with them for quite a while.

Also, lifetime leafy ‘permaccounts’ are available again.

Update 2:

They dropped the ball and lost data (including a lot of mine). Aeronaut is now hosted on Dreamhost. My recommendation: don’t fucking go near these guys; infrequent updates, poor response times, and continued uptime issues.
