Webserver problems

Monday 6th February, 2006 | 12:17 pm

For the last 4/5 days there seems to have been persistent problems with the webserver, provided by Lycos Webhosting. Disappointingly, I moved to Lycos as I figured a fairly big-name company might provide some kind of reliability after problems with my previous host. Although they’ve been fine for 3 months or so, it was clear that with the server not handling PHP requests at all something had been ballsed up at their end, and their ‘Premium Support’ which is only available 8a.m-5p.m Monday - Friday has yet to answer a support request filed on Wednesday afternoon.

But, hopefully things have been resolved. At least the site has been up for more than a couple of hours without falling over, which is nice. Wonder if it will continue working, and what kind of explanation is given for the failure…
