Back from the beyond

Post – May 23, 2001

I’ve said this before, but why is web hosting so difficult? First the ISP that hosts several of my client sites has a “catastrophic failure” that causes the sites to be down for, at this writing, a day and a half. Then the BlogSpot server, which hosts some of my favorite weblogs (you guys know who you are), is down for more than a day, and even non-BlogSpot blogs that use BlogVoices are slowed to a crawl. If American society can produce Oreos that change the color of milk, we should be able to serve web pages with some regularity.

    what a coincidence. i was thinking of asking you if you knew of any reliable, ethical, reasonably priced web hosts. i’m beginning to think they don’t exist.

    I’m currently toying with the idea of getting a static IP on my DSL line and hosting my own and some client sites myself. Not sure if it’s a good idea, but recent events have me considering it.
