Hosting fiasco

Posted in General Ranting by Matty B. @ Apr 8, 2008

Yesterday, I was finishing up a post and actually approving a comment when the page just hung.  I then opened up a new tab and attempted to load my site only to find that my account had been suspended.  Just like that, no warning, no phone call, no email, nothing.  I was completely disconnected.  Come to find out, the site was eating up too much CPU usage.  From what was described, it sounds like a memory leak or just a bad executable but I’ve now been switched over to a semi-dedicated server.  I’ve also lost the post and comment that were up when all of this happened but I guess it’s not a big deal because my sweet cooler modification didn’t end up working out.  The lesson learned out of all of this - I’m not too sure other than be sure to research your host before hand because it’s tough to contact them when there’s no emergency phone number and you lose email due to them suspending your site.
