Hosts suck - and always in early July
by Sapphire (July 2, 2006)
What’s the deal with hosts that suddenly disappear at the end of June - end of the fiscal year?
Last year, I had several sites go down in early July, so I had to rush and find new hosts - which was difficult because apparently all the hosts were busy taking the vacation I should have had around Canada Day and US Independence Day. How nice for them.
Again this year, one of my sites has gone down - hosted by Infexion.net, who was never particularly reliable, but was the best deal I could find last July when I was in a crunch, looking for new hosting.
Since yesterday, I’ve tried to contact 5 hosts that I thought looked good, to see if they respond in a timely manner. Uh, they don’t. Not one response so far.
I have several good hosts, but I’ve noticed that most of them don’t last more than a year. Maybe I should go into hosting. Set up some accounts, cash the money, disappear. What a lovely way to make a living.
