Wha happened?

I tried to get on the BABB and all I got was the Plesk Server Administrator default page.

"If you see this page it means:

1) hosting for this domain is not configured
or
2) there's no such domain registered in Plesk."

WTF.

Same thing here. Phil, if you're lurking, is everything OK?

Had a computer super genius friend of mine look into this. He says he's pretty sure its just down for maintenance.

Looks like only the main page is down. I was able to get to the forum.

The site was down for a few hours this morning, but is back up.

Months ago, my original webhost was bought up by a bigger one. I had a rather friendly arrangement with the first host; I helped him out a few times, and he didn't worry about the fact that I had a bandwidth of 20Gb a month, when I am allowed 3.

However, the new company, after several months, figured they had given me enough leeway. After I exceeded 20Gb this month, they cut the service. The only warning was an email sent out when the service was cut.

As it happened, I never got the email. I called them to find out what was up. Needless to say, I am a bit pissed about this. Sure, I got away with something for a while, but that arrangement was with the consent of the old host, and the new one agreed to keep it up for a while. Either way, I would have preferred more than -3 hours notice that my site was down.

Needless to say again, I am looking for a new webhost. I have my eye on one or two, and may switch over in October.

Phil,

You might want to contact Jeff, the Admin over at the JREF. He just dealt with a similar problem, and some of the forum members were able to offer some good suggestions for alternative webhosts.

Okay, this is weird. I still can't get to the site via the AOL browser.
Johnno, after several smarmy and probably unnecessary remarks about AOL, tossed me a link that allows me to get there via explorer. (At least we were on PalTalk, so I could tell him to Bite Me in real time)
