Radio Clash / MutantPop down at the mo'

[radioclash]

Due to a serious webserver fault, Radio Clash http://www.mutantpop.net/radioclash/ and MutantPop.net forum are down at the moment - my host Valuehosts is having HDD/RAID issues and it's been down since late Thursday 22nd September.

NOTE: This doesn't affect links to shows here and on Odeo or Podcast Pickle or suchlike (ironically) - all my shows are on a seperate server - just no way for podcatchers to get them!

So I am still going, still here and a note to my listeners - please don't unsubscribe from the feed; it will be back soon, I've not done a runner and it's as frustrating for me as it possibly is for you (if you're a listener). I even have shows to go and everything, but with no site it's kind of moot at the moment.

Please spread the word; I don't know how long it's going to be down but as they are dragging their heels with this and tranferring the doman (so in future I can switch hosts in a few days if this happens again) I'm kind of stuck...but I'm tempted to switch hosts (especially as they've not responded to any of my emails or '20 minute' support requests) and then get my domain back, but aware that could take even longer.

But I'll be back, mark my words :D

P.S. Anyone suggest any good podcasting/mashup-friendly hosts? Need 1Gb, PHP and MySQL and mutliple/virtual domain hosting. Currently paying 5UKP a month.

I've been quite happy with Dreamhost (http://www.dreamhost.com/rewards.cgi?sfeley). Their current $8/month plan has 4.8 GB of disk space, 120GB/month transfer, three domains, unlimited MySQL databases, yadda yadda. And their reputation in the various Web hosting communities is quite solid.

Not the first time Dreamhost has been recommended, so thanks I'll definitely check em out. :D

cheers!

Well as always when you post these things it magically comes back up so you then have to go everywhere and look like a lemon saying 'It's back!'

Well, uh, Lemon speaking - Radio Clash and MutantPop are BACK UPfor the time being. Still had to reupload everything, thankfully the databases weren't affected.

Still need a new host tho, it's been up and down quite a lot recently, and had security problems. Not happy with my host...
