website back up… by Alison Green on January 3, 2012 Apologies for the downtime on the site today. My web host had some kind of server explosion, which has resulted in the site being down for a good portion of the day. I think it’s back up now, hopefully for good (although I also wouldn’t be surprised to see intermittent delays for the rest of the day today) … You may also like:my boss has delusions of grandeur about our website -- do I have to burst his bubble?are remote workers more likely to be laid off?should I really follow up on my job applications a week after applying? { 5 comments }

Ask a Manager* Post authorJanuary 3, 2012 at 7:23 pm Dreamhost, actually. But possibly not for long … and not because of the outage itself, but because of how they kept saying it was fixed when it wasn’t, which really irks me.

Ask a Manager* Post authorJanuary 3, 2012 at 8:45 pm I may actually change from what I’m currently doing — a shared server — to my own dedicated server. You all have made my traffic go up so much that I might have outgrown a shared server! Which is awesome, although more expensive.
