But I was just considering consolidating over to DH.... But the server is down again? or still?.... I guess paying 8$/month for 200MB at my other host may still be worth it then (99.998% uptime over the last 4 years !). Hope they get it together here at DH.

That's over $1500. So, yeah, I rounded up a bit to "couple thousand." Add to that, all the work I actually charge him for the site and it's well over $5k. So, yeah, all of that $5k is worth nothing if the site doesn't load. Phases - In case you didn’t know, the Level 4 hosting is $63.95 a month for a prepayment two year service. That’s over $1500.

What city do you live in, I need to advertise there! :-) Jason Harris - Wow… you pay what… $50 a month for shared hosting and charge a couple thousand dollars to your client?

He paid a couple thousand dollars for this hosting and this is about the third time in the last couple months that his site has gone down. Any actual idea of when this will be fixed? I may have to change hosting providers. My client is pretty upset that his site is down right now.

My Company (FNS Net) hosts my 9am-5pm job (NSD) and they are really getting on my case about the email going down all the time. This is really getting to be a problem. I can almost put up with the http going down, but our companies run on email! If this problem doesn't resolve itself soon, I am going to have to move my company and all it's clients to another host provider. I have been more than supportive during this "rough patch" of hosting here at DH... but my patience is wearing thin. Matthew Glennon Mail has been slow or down all day.
