B2Blog site was down, now back celebrating 6 years

Posted on April 29, 2008 by Dave J.

Wow, my web host moved all their sites to new servers over the weekend. What a royal mess. Between their problems and me having to guess how to fix things, my sites been down for almost three days.

In a nutshell, I have nine sites with my hosting account, two of which were completely unavailable. When I noticed they were down, they told me to change my DNS settings to point to the new servers. And so it started.

Final solution: I set my account at GoDaddy to use their ‘default’ DNS server, then use their ‘total DNS’ tool to point to the IP address of the new server, actually bypassing any need to set specific DNS names.

Between this and my van’s radiator leaking, I’ve been pretty distracted.

New blogging series:
All this occurring when B2Blog is turning six. I had some great ideas about a new series of posts, which has made the problems all the more frustrating. But no more!

The new series will be titled “The state of B2Blog“, which I will use to address the issues and future of B2Blog and the B2Blogoshpere.

Stay tuned!

    Six years puts B2Blog’s birth back in the web’s Pleistocene epoch, just about the time the last glacial period was ending and, some would argue, just before the rise of human civilization. It is an enormous achievement, reflecting perseverance, excellence and continuing relevance as business and technology evolved. I commend you and wish you continued success and satisfaction in the years ahead.
