Yesterday afternoon, BattleSwarm went down with 500 errors. Contacting Bluehost, they said it was a problem with an old stats plugin. When I went into my dashboard to fix this, surprise! Nothing worked! And the blog was still down hard.
After two round-and-round chat sessions with Indian technical support personnel using vague screen replies, the problem still wasn’t resolved, and they told me it was a server-wide problem affecting many people. And indeed, I’m evidently not alone in having a problem with BlueHost.
Also, this notice from https://www.isitdownrightnow.com doesn’t exactly suggest a company brimming with confidence.
Right now, the blog appears to be up, though with the characteristic slowness and dropped connections during editing that seem common this year. I have not received the email that the second Indian technical support guy promised would be sent when things were resolved.
Hopefully it will stay up long enough to update some plugins…
I noticed this last night when my rss reader started complaining about your site timing out. Clicking on the link to this post tonight brought up this page and site quicker than it has in some time now, fwiw. So maybe “it’s” fix? For now…
