NASY Down

[Fyron]

Actually... the web host I am currently using is working on getting all non-profit sites restored for free from the old server.

God I hope so Fyron. Your site is on of the best on the net.

Have they said anything about protecting sites from a shut down like this in the future?

Spaceports has been great thus far, but what they did here kinda sucks arse.

[Fyron]

I have not had any bad experiences with Spaceports, but then, I never went over bandwidth limits. It is probably just that a random glitch in their systems caused your account to not be shown as having had ads removed and bandwidth increased. Or they were being malicious. I can not say.

I don't think they were being mean, just difficult. They would not tell me why the site was down and then all of a sudden they offer an over the bandwidth excuse when I bought two years of no ads up front. They have not responded to my Last few emails. I am now growing concerned.

I'm familar with such a tactic. Often webhosts will can websites, paying customers or not, over unrelated concerns or bandwidth.

I'm willing to bet bandwidth got chewed up and this delayed reply is just a lame and polite way to say, "sorry, we don't want you as a customer unless you pay us more."

I'm sure you're familiar with the shutdown of Ex Astris Scientia back in march/april of this year. The owner of that site was paying for unlimited bandwidth and they canned him on a totally unrelated Terms of Use violation.

Back up.
