Some of you may have noticed that my site went down for bit today.

Well, it was just a bit of hardware problem at my web hosting company.  They’ve fixed it and I’m back up and running.  Sadly, I did temporarily lose one post from yesterday, which I’ve recreated, but I’ve also lost comments made yesterday.  No way to get those back, really, as they weren’t on the backup and I don’t have a personal backup, either.

So, my apologies to anyone effected.

Webhost Reccomendations?

So, I’m not entirely happy with my webhost.

After bouncing around from place to place, I finally found a great webhost who had competitive prices and super-responsive support. Even when I had issues with some particularly unruly scripts, they worked with me and got everything working just right.  Granted, the company was run by the cousin of a friend of mine, but, stll… Unfortunately, they also sold the business to someone else who’s not quite as good as the folks I was with for so long.
Normally, I wouldn’t just jump ship, but I have a little project that I’ve been toying with and it would be a perfect test case for a new web provider. Naturally, I thought I’d ask you all, my faithful readers, before just closing my eyes and picking someone, if any of you had any suggestions. So, do you? Are there any of you who have had particularly good, or bad, experiences with any web hosting companies?
Inquiring minds want to know!

And, yes, this little “project” is also why I’ve been thinking about blogging software and search engine optimization.  Funny how all these things seem to tie together with me these days.
