June 1, 2009

I’ve been looking at several domain registrars recently and have used a few in the past. I figure now would be a good time to summarize my views of each. In this article I’ll cover the registrars I’ve used in the past but not anymore. These registrars exist mostly to provide domain registration for [...]

The OS Quest #31 Trail Log: Host Blues Edition

April 6, 2008

Things began to go bad Monday night, although I didn’t know how bad until Tuesday. On Monday I got an email from SiteUpTime saying my site was inaccessible and sure enough it was – for about 45 minutes. Bluehost said the server was experiencing performance issues and was looking into it. When the site [...]

Site Outage

April 1, 2008

The OS Quest went down yesterday and stayed down for over 12 hours. It appears I had some database corruption that began with a hosting problem. Seems like everything is almost back to normal now although there may be some problems lurking in the shadows. One problem is that the menu bar to the pages [...]

January 28, 2008

Since development of PHP 4 ended in 2007 it’s time to finally move on to PHP 5. This website is hosted by Bluehost and they provide the PHP installation, so there’s nothing for me to actually install. Bluehost provided the ability to determine which version of PHP I want to use on my site [...]

I quickly realized it was the server (fpt, email, another site, etc…) and not just the site. The [...]

BlueHost Customer Service

May 7, 2007

I had more first experience with BlueHost customer service over the weekend and it was an excellent experience. They’d recently been advertising “unlimited domains”. My control panel still showed the old limit of domains and when I tried to add a sixth I received and error that I’d reached the limit. So I opened [...]

Bluehost Updates It Hosting Plan

April 17, 2007

Bluehost updated it’s hosting plan recently and now offers “more” for the same price. They now offer 300GB of disk space, 3,000GB of bandwidth and will now host unlimited domains.
Those are all nice numbers and I like Bluehost so far, but at what point do these numbers become so large they’re meaningless? While I’m sure [...]
