For anyone in the hosting business you should be watching out for what SoftLayer do in the market. My experiences with them have been nothing but fantastic. And I just got a very interesting email from Mary which again proves they have to be one of the most top notch places out there. I can’t say what it is yet but its just such a simple and cool idea.

Irish hosting companies and stupid crap. You may have noticed the fact this site was down for best part of a day in order to shut that mulley lad up. He’s been complaining he can’t access my site from home but he can from work. So in my vain attempt to get things back to speed again I decided a move to Blacknight (I have one of their free ruby on rails accounts) might be the order of the day (I do like Directadmin better then H-Sphere, take note Hosting365)
So I added the domain, changed the nameservers on my domain and went away for a while only to come back to nothing, “hrmm this is taking longer then usual” so I ignored it and worked on other things to come back to nothing again, so now I know something has gone wrong, have I set my nameservers wrong? Did I not do something in Directadmin? A quick trip to dnsreport.com tells me no DNS records are being served for my domains. So thats not right, and I take a quick look through Blacknights FAQ and get told “Contact support to get the domain added to our DNS.”
*sigh*
Why in this day and age do I have to deal with a person to do something as simple as add a DNS entries for a domain? So I send an email off asking for DNS to be setup for this domain and they ask me do I have a hosting package with them.
“…”
No, I’m doing this for a fucking laugh guys. I’ve just left the ticket open and not bothered to respond to it.
And whats with the anal package limits? Why do they feel its necessary to milk me for every penny I have? I’d say this applies to nearly every hosting company. Up to 2 domain supported! wow! You guys are just so kind. Maybe I’ve just become an elitest dedicated server whore and not used to having limits imposed on me but I didn’t think it took that much CPU time to serve an extra domain. If people abuse it then suspend them but don’t punish everyone else for what *might* happen.
