Been ages since we had an oh shit report. Hmm don’t know if I should be happy about that or sad as I miss them (grin)
PS 36 min after the last post it is working fine for me
Unpaid intern at the hosting service which Mediocre uses.
Go Daddy glitched out earlier this week causing total email outage for millions of domains for 16 hours.
I found it humorous to imagine the cause ultimately boils down to one single person somewhere who was responsible for not updating some driver, not replacing some hard drive, accidentally removing a network cable or whatever. One person, singlehandedly responsible for a hundred million lost email messages and the disruption of a hundred thousand (or more?) businesses.
@ruouttaurmind interestingly it only crippled inbound messages to GoDaddy which should mean that most email messages weren’t lost they were just left in limbo for a while until the issue was resolved
@jbartus We had inbound and outbound affected. Maybe 50% of outbound messages we sent eventually made it out, the remainder were just lost into the ether.
Go Daddy isn’t the ideal hosting solution, but IMHO, none of them are. It really boils down to how much we pay for unreliable hosting. At least Go Daddy is reasonably inexpensive for unreliable service. The others I’ve tried are less reliable for about the same price. HostGator, BlueHost, Small Orange… all provide about the same price, but have been slower and no more reliable than GD. 1&1 is really slow AND unreliable;worst experience I’ve had.

Thanks, I’ll look at them. Against my best judgement we migrated our websites to WP, so we need WP, PHP, SQL and SSL. I’m surprised how many hosting plans price those a la carte, or don’t offer all.
Ps mediocre.com isn’t losing now. @woodhouse @shawn
I had lots of DNS errors when the page tried to load.

Ate my foreshadowing on the free will thread last night… You guys should consider keeping the text in the buffer until the post happens, maybe.

I blame Eric, Chuck, and Will.
Eric - The person responsible at Mediocre.
Chuck - Unpaid intern at the hosting service which Mediocre uses.
Will - He’s somehow involved.

Blame Duncan and Christina for that.

@ruouttaurmind inmotion has those on all their packages no muss no fuss.
