Website outage
I had an outage on all of my websites yesterday. This was the first time, in a very long time that I have had any substantial outage.
I have been using Dreamhost as my web host since 1999. I have been very happy with them. I bought a pretty full fledged account with them back in 1999, and they keep improving it without increasing the cost at all.
Apparently one of the sites that they host had a Denial of Service attack launched against it, and it took them most of the day to get their upstream providers to turn it off. One of the things that I really enjoy about doing business with them is that they have always been honest about their problems. When something goes wrong, they let you know that it went wrong, and they let you know what they are doing to prevent it from going wrong next time. I like that, and you don't find that with most businesses these days.
