Well my blog was down for an unknown amount of time again today, this time not cause of my host - rather the company I registered my domain name with. Don’t quite know what went wrong but they seemed to think that my name server didn’t exist, or that it was changed. Ah well.
For all you people out there who want to start your own self hosted blog, my advice:
Don’t do it on the cheap. Get a decent webhost (more specifically one with charges). See free webhosts who don’t sell advertising… they aren’t exactly compelled to give the most reliable service. Getting a decent host will hopefully cut down the annoying things you have to deal with, like reatrded downtime and mysql server resets every hour (really why would you do this, it really frustrates me).
Hope all of you out there are having a good time. Also just so you know - I will attempt to write at least once every two days. Every now and again I will write every day for a little while. Once every thousand years I will do two posts in one day. You’ll know its apocalypse when I do three in one day.
