Moving hosts: one more time with feeling | Comments (2)

I’ve been with Dreamhost about 20 days and in within that time I have witness over 3hours of total server outage. To that end I have decided to go back to the dedicated server which I was originally on as it has now been fixed and is running much better with the full complement of 512Mb of memory.

Stuart,

I have almost completely moved all my sites to Dreamhost…no complaints at this point. Of course my previous host (not named…at least until I can finish getting the rest of my sites off their server) has left a lot of bad taste in my mouth…almost anything would be better at this point. This may just be the way of it with shared hosting.

Fair enough, there are a lot of people that are happy with Dreamhost and that’s what attracted me in the first place.

However, having been with them for only a few weeks and seeing 3 hours downtime didn’t exactly fill me with confidence. I am going to stick with this dedicated box for now and when it comes up for renewal I am going to take a look at Media Temple.

Standalone mac battery charger|(0)

Got a spare mac battery? I’ve often wondered why up until now no-one’s produced a standalone charger so that you can charge batteries without having to plug them into the mac. Fortunately Fastmac.com have produced a standalone charger that allows you to do just that. and it’s compatible with iBooks, Powerbooks, macbooks and Macbook Pros. It’s also 110/200v. Exactly what I was looking for!
