The Straw that Broke the Camel’s Back: New Host!

15 Apr 2008, Jay Hilgert

If you’ve had trouble accessing BittBox in the past few days, I apologize. I’ve been with GoDaddy for over 5 years, and it’s had it’s ups and downs, but I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I got pissed and switched to (mt) Media Temple over-night. Here’s my story:

The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back: New Host! A few days ago I submitted a trouble ticket when some software on my GoDaddy server locked up, and a few hours later, they replied stating that they had resolved the issue, and charged me $75. Great……wait, what? My site doesn’t work anymore!

I hadn’t changed a single setting on my server and the BittBox homepage wouldn’t load. So I called GoDaddy again, and another 6 hours go by, and they tell me that it’s my .htaccess file that’s causing the problem. So, in a nutshell, not only was my site down, but I PAID GoDaddy $75 to f*ck it up. Awesome, right?

Server Maintenance

Apparently my server’s hard drive is failing, so it’s going to have to be replaced : ( It might take up to 24 hrs, so the Box might be down for the next day or so. When I return from this dilemma, I’ve got an awesome set of vectors for everyone. See you in a day or so.

New Server

If any of you have noticed anything weird lately around the Box, or are having trouble loading the RSS feeds, please give it a day or two. I just migrated BittBox to a brand new dedicated server, and it can take up to 3 days before the transition is totally done. Sorry for the inconvenience.
