See for yourself. It's going to hell in a handbasket is what's happening. What started all this was one of their servers failing, which domino'd into, like, their whole network being dead. Once they got all of that fixed, power outages in CA killed them for a little while, which caused a bunch more hardware to fail. Go figure.

Ghey.

As per the other thread, I'm looking for a new host. Probably going to go with Media Temple, since HostGator doesn't seem to want to host Scourge.

Oh farenheit. How gay you are. The heat is great. If a company has proper equipment the heat shouldnt be an issue. At all. Ever.

Our company has servers for hosting. Although we only host with the use of our special software. We have billions and billions of dollars worth of construction drawings and such pass through our servers... We take good care of them. Cant see why some one else cant. Well, we HAVE to take good care of them or were in shit creek. Seems many hosts dont feel the same about their customers.

It's not the heat itself, it's that so many people were using their air conditioners that it caused power to die in most of the state. Or something. I dunno. But I blame Dreamhost.

yeah it actually isnt dreams fault, at least most of it is not their fault.

this heatwave is the first time that there has been a severe heatwave in nor cal and so cal at the SAME time. which is HUGE.

no matter what the precautions were that dreamhost had in place, when entire portions of a city go into a blackout because of insufficient power supplies from the state there is nothing that can be done.

granted they should have had better battery back ups on the servers to allow sufficient time to turn off the server safely so that a sudden power outage wouldnt cause damage on hardware.

but it has been pretty extreme in cali lately so i can give them a TAD of leeway.
