I just switched hosting providers over the past 48 hours. Transferring the Domain Name Wire database from one host to another, plus the propagation of the new name servers, caused some lag time between sites.
As a result, a handful of comments submitted over the previous 36 hours are lost. I could take an ICANN -like TAS approach and go through the logs to find all of the missing comments. But then I’d have to take the site down for a couple months while I did this to make sure there was no “monkey business”. So I’ll skip that. Sorry.
Over the weekend I hope to catch up on some of the big stories of the past couple days.
Alva says
Can you share more on this? Where did you move from and where did you move too and for what reason did you change host?
Andrew Allemann says
@ Alva – I’ll share more at a later date

Good to have you back up…
Morgan says
Awesome, congrats on the move! Definitely interested to know what hosting provider you picked.
TD says
@Morgan, you as a “Domainer” not being able to find out the web-host of a website is really disappointing..
It’s hostica.
Morgan says
@TD – haha, good point, just being lazy! Looked right now and now I know.
Are you really that disappointed though? It’s Saturday, have some fun 🙂
Morgan says
I am still very interested to know what prompted the move and how Hostica was picked! We work with six different hosting providers but I’m really looking to consolidate to one or two and looking very seriously at Liquid Web right now!
Andrew Allemann says
It’s actually not Hostica — that’s the one I left.
Alan says
Welcome back, love reading your blog, you are
one of two blogs that imo, are worth reading.
TD says
Laggy DNS, it’s GoDaddy (Secureserver).
Andrew Allemann says
Yes, it’s GoDaddy. I’ll do a post at a later date about why I left my previous host, why I selected GoDaddy, etc.
