I have an account on Affordablehost's Carme server. It's been down since mid afternoon yesterday (Saturday June 2. The only update was over 16 hours ago. This is exactly the same non-communication as happened a few weeks ago when the Janus server went down. Don't webhosts understand that customers hate the silence???? Time and time again, customers have said just tell us what is going on and webhosts don't pay attention. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. >> Stay informed about: this is what I hate about webhosts

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I think that part of the problem here is that when a server goes down all of the host's energy goes into getting it back up and often times they can't reliably predict when that will be. Meanwhile the host is bombarded with support questions demanding to know when their server will be back online. The most they can say is that the server is down and they are doing everything they can to get it back online. As a customer, I assume that's the case when I see a server go down. I don't bother the host because I figure plenty of people are doing that already. If down time becomes a problem because the host doesn't deal with it effectively, then it's time to move on. -- Red E.

The 13 came from the number of people present at the last supper.

I really do not understand why that is. I thought most hosts, like ourselves, had mirrored back-ups - it takes less than 30 seconds to throw the switxh and all is working again!
