Was biting nails until a few hours ago. The shift had happened, I’d been busy, my DNS hadn’t rexolved, and quietly, behind my back, my site was in shambles…… this is quite ususal after a shift like that. Problems need to be found and fixed, and I was sitting happily, unaware.

Suddenly, I woke up to the situation, and as usual sent endless messages to the suport at Mochahost, that this was not working and that was giving problems and so on. No reply. I bit my nails some more, send a few more emails. Misunderstanding!!! Now, I was ready to tear my hair from my scalp. My precious site!!! Not working!?!

Suddenly, the sun shone through the clouds, the support people went into gear, and within the last couple of hours, everything is sorted. These guys sure can work once they dig into a problem. The one problem that remains is a mystery….. something in my site that doesn’t let it be recognized at all as online to validate my blog at Social Spark. No clue why this happens. Installed their code and all, but when I validate, it doesn’t find it.

Since it was not life threatening, I sent only one email so far. Now that everything is sorted, I may send maybe one a few days until resolved. The thing is that such things are minor. The big thing is that my website, my precious website is breathing once more!!!

Really, these guys are the best for a self made webmaster. I mean, who else (not that I have experience with others) will keep figuring llife out for you? I only wish they didn’t keep changing my servers or doing something with the DNS. I just don’t have the skills to cope with those kinds of messes yet.

I do have a wish list pending from them though.

• I want that space upgrade they had once promised (Dec 06). My ticket is pending since December. I even updated for two more years after that (Feb 07). I mean, come on! Everyone who signed up after that got it, but I’m waiting. And we all know, patience is not what I’m famous for. I’m running out of space! I really need all that extra space (1GB to 5GB) to set up new ways to crash my site. Update: done
• I want power tools they promise. All I am supposed to do is ask for them. I asked. Let’s see what happens. Update I got them -within 2 hours from asking – not bad.
• What else……. oh yes! I want to be able to use squirrelmail directly (just for the heck of it – I don’t really use those emails). This is a wish list, isn’t it?
• That’s it.

Boy, am I in a good mood! A three item wish list from me is rare folks, you might want to bookmark it. I’m a want-it-all kind of person.

But seriously, Mochahost has accommodated my learning curve and its pangs pretty comfortably in its SoHo plan (the cheapest). So, if ya’ll are planning to fool around learning how to make your own site and all that, go ahead, while I’m recommending them. You never know when I’ll crash something and be pissed again. ]]> http://www.aamjanata.com/2007/09/17/i-love-mochahost-again/feed/ 0
