Is it weird when hosts don't host their own sites, or is that standard practice? I've seen a few hosts advertise that they host their own homepages as a selling point.
Looks like it's back up...
^^^ Especially since this was outside of HG's direct control to begin with - it was a datacenter issue.
It could have all been Google's fault. Didn't Provo just switch over to Google Fiber?
I'm wondering how many people this is effecting; and how much business they will lose today.
Bluehost, HostGator and HostMonster Go Down
But it was in HG's direct control because the issue is at HG's New Datacenter that THEY own (EIG that is).
And I've been a HG devotee for years. But they recently got bought out by EIG and many have complained of nothing but shit since. Personally I haven't had too much probs yet cause I'm still using Softlayer's datacenter.. which is what HG used before the buyout. Well now they're forcing everyone to move over to their shitty HG datacenter and everyone hates it.
I'm actually in the process of migrating from the softlayer DS to the HG one lol.. and this shit happens. But luckily haven't changed info at registrar yet.. but everyone needs to be off softlayer DS by Aug 7th.
I'm lazy, but they may force me to look at other options.
