IT question

this is so lame. server was down again last night and stayed down until early this morning (as far as i could tell at least).

now looking for different (and more reliable) hosting possibilities. any suggestions?

[nature boy]

this is effing ridiculous. server is down again. this time it's been almost 24 hours (as far as i could tell, could have been longer). i emailed them and they said "sorry for the inconvenience" and no assurance as to when it'll be back up.

seriously, i need to find another host.

Go with web based email... gmail's had maybe one major outage in the 4-5 years I've been using it. I wasn't even affected during that outage either.

we just finally got everyone used to using our graceburnaby.com emails. it used to be gracebby@gmail, but i thought it sounded too unprofessional.

You can switch your graceburnaby.com hosting over to gmail. You will still keep the graceburnaby.com domain name, and it's free.

That's what Daffy did with her sparadise.ca email hosting.

oh i can? how?

[nature boy]

and can gmail host our website too? or just our emails?

It's free if you already own the domain, which you do... but the email will be completely hosted through gmail which is the plus.

You can get google to host your website too, but I don't know how good it is through google.

Cool thanks man.

I just got an email saying gmail isn't offering this service for free anymore for new signups.

[nature boy]

oh haha,
that's ok cause i totally forgot about this.

[geForce]

You forgot now.. But you'll be back on here complaining again next time your server goes down.. Ooooooh, you'll be back, I gare-un-TEE, cherie

[nature boy]

You're probably right.
