Jaunscorner.com Back!

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Just wanted to let everybody know that it was NOT because of me that Jaunscorner.com was down for about four days, but because of Hostpoint, my hosting provider and, as they call themselves, “The Data Residence”.

They have not yet sent out anything to apologize for the kinda long outage. Well, at least it is prooven now that their uptime is surely smaller than 99.999 Percent :-(

They are, if you ask me, also kind of expensive compared to similar offers in my country. So is it maybe time for a change of hosting provider?

Well, we will see what happens next…

Update 1:
An email, expressing HostPoint’s apologies in words as well as the promise that “more than words” would follow, arrived about 31 hours later. Will I get free cookies from them I wonder?

UPdate 2:
26 days later, they sent me a CHF 20.– gift card which is redeemable at various locations - no cookies though, but at least CDs :)

UPdate 3:
Another six days later (which is about a month after the problem seemed to be solved for the first time, and just after we switched to a new hosting provider), the server which used to host jaunscorner.com needed to be taken offline again for kind of the same reasons.
