My apologies, especially to European readers, for any inconvenience when you didn't get your end-of-week Skeptic fix.</p> <p>Normally WestHost are excellent but this is the second time they have screwed up my DNS when moving the account. Once is OK, we all make mistakes, but we are supposed to learn from them. Strike Two. So much for WestHost's CSI eh?</p> <p>No incident number, all communications by email (even though they took my email server out, had to resort to mail.com) because the guy doing the move didn't have access to the (wonderful) live chat, and three hours to rebuild 46 domain definitions.</p> <p>Still, once they get it right it usually just chugs away nicely. That better not be "famous last words"...</p> <p>Maybe it's subjective, but I must say it also seems faster (as it should for five times the monthly cost)</p> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:34:00 +0000 skeptic comment 5789 at http://www.itskeptic.org
