On Wed, at 12:07 AM, I received the following email from JustHost: Monday, AugDNS problems after server migration Shortly after I became a Just Host customer, I discovered a misconfiguration on the server that was preventing my sites from saving PHP session variables. In August, 2011, I set up a free account at pingdom to monitor for any further downtime. Just Host is pretty good about quickly getting things running again, but I wondered how much downtime my sites are experiencing that I wasn’t aware of. I’ve now noticed my sites being down four times in 2011 and have logged support tickets.


The downtime at Just Host has become increasingly frustrating. I’ve put more details up on my site at ///8/justhost-com-what-is-wrong-with-your-mysql-servers/ I’m running into PHP max execution, script timeout type problems with what should be very quick processes. The server is usually far, far faster than this. īasically, the same operation takes the server over 5 times longer than on my low-end laptop. It seems like something is really slowing down the MySQL server that I use on. MySQL seems extremely slow over the last two days HostGator seemed to be pretty decent, but I was also curious about going it alone with an Amazon EC2 instance.īelow is a record of the support tickets logged with JustHost for what I think are problems that a competent host would be able to resolve without requiring my attention. By early 2012, I had decided not to renew my hosting contract and was looking for alternatives. I also liked being able to host all of my sites under a single, inexpensive plan at Just Host, rather than paying for separate hosting for each domain at GoDaddy (which I later discovered was an option).īut, after a few problems here and there with Just Host, I thought it was a good idea to keep track of issues that lead to support calls. GoDaddy had great uptime and excellent customer support, but I preferred the cPanel interface available at Just Host to the proprietary admin area on GoDaddy. I switched from GoDaddy to Just Host in mid 2010.
