Hostgator was down once again.  Wow, do they ever suck!

Hostgator was down once again.  Wow, do they ever suck!   

I've noticed some serious performance issues today around 2:30-3:30pm EDT.  Even some 404 errors.  I was able to read and leave some posts but it was really painful. Then I tried just few minutes ago (9:45PM EDT) and I got error 404.  Looks to be back now....

Yeah it was slow all day today.  Again, the problem stems from this crappy company:

They are buying up all the hosting companies.  I would hate to change over to something else and then find out that they, too are now owned by EIG.

Headquartered in Burlington MA?  That is just couple of towns from me. I used to work in Burlington (Sun Microsystems).  Maybe I should go there and demand that they get their $hit together with the Hostgator!

You know, I'm kicking around hosting a backup of the NSHS site; I could probably give you a vm (qemu/kvm on RHEL 7 host, 12 tb of backing store after raid 5).

All set thanks.

I still have a Commodore 64, a 1200 modem, and a 1541 drive that I used to use for a BBS we could use
