server turbulence

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.

You both should have recently seen a pretty thorough improvement.

When we move to our own control panel next week, our uptime should be rock solid and our server happy once again. Plus, we’re grabbing a nice new server for our primary shared hosting space, which means: a new toy for everyone.

If either of you have any specific concerns, please don’t hesitate to send me an email: cbudnick@leafycorp.com

Thanks for the heads up, Christopher. It has been quite a bit smoother lately, and I’m sure with Leafypanel it will only get better. 

Just testing comments for you… live preview seems to work fine. So does the other preview thingy.

what’s weirdest is that my site database seems to be going all wonky on me.

on the plus side, akismet is working now.
