Dreamhost crumbles. Is this the end?
July 18, 2006 at 5:58 am | In dreamhost, gizmoojo, server issues | 6 CommentsNow asI am writing this, Dreamhost , one of the fasting glowing hosting company (also currently my webhost) is having really bad server troubles. It all begun 3 days ago when I woke up to Gizmoojo.com having the dreadful RAILS APPLICATION ERROR. It appears their trouble started with one of their file server screeching to an deadbeat. So their tech support having been working nonstop over the weekend, and even slept in the server room, to get the server back to life again.
So as you know, since my server is down, I decided to exercise my GIMP skills a little and conjured up this great Dreamhost Ads
But it appears Dreamhost is having a really bad network failure within their own networks. www.dreamhost.com is down and so are the wikis and the control panel for users. This sounds really bad… Early they had advised their customers to backup their data… but isn’t that their job to? but don’t they back up these server?
Here is what on dreamhoststatus.com now…. I think they will be getting tons of emails from their customers real soon.. althought mine have been ignored once today already.. usually they do reply back in a timely manner….
The problems are worse..

It seems like the problems are more widespread with our network than just our internal stuff.
We’re actively working on it, and apologize for any possible downtime this may be causing customer services.
We will update here as soon as we know more!
Panel and Wiki down..

We’re having some problems right now with our firewall for public websites we have that connect to our private internal databases.. we hope to get it fixed soon, but in the meantime, https://panel.dreamhost.com/ and http://wiki.dreamhost.com/ (and http://mailboxes.anydomainwehost.com/) are down.
We’re doing our best to get it all better ASAP!

By your “party all night long ad”, I might suspect that “Dreamhost” is really a little more like a nightmare, that hideous electric blue fog creeping up from the floor into all the machinery. God help us all, we are doomed!

[...] Si uno entra en Technorati a estas horas, vería que Dreamhost logró estar en la 7ma posición de los más buscados. Dicen que no hay publicidad mala.. pero leyendo algunos posts creo que esa máxima no es válida. [...]

Dreamhost, I suggest they change there name to ‘Nightmare host’. The service they provide is nothing but abissmal. I’ve never been with a host that has so much downtime, all the supporters rant with comments like “..do you know how many sites they support..” “..have you any idea how many users they have and the bandwidth that is used..” well all I can say is BO##OX. If they have all this business, then they should be implementing the services to support it, simple as that. The fact you can get a better uptime and speed from FREE hosting services is ridiculous. I can see the Dreamhost shares and hosting going down, down, down when it comes to renewel time.
I curse you Dreamhost, your first born goat and the ship you sailed in on.
Not a happy puppy.

[...] We are ditching our host provider – Dreamhost.. Yes… Bye Dreamhost..Thanks for all the nightmares… we are moving on. Your servers are for kids and we have grown. We like to tell everyone about our new host provide. – Railsplayground. Kudos to Railsplayground!!!! Great people, wonderful plans…Apache+Mongrels Best support in its class. We would highly recommend them if you are looking specifically for Rails hosting. Second piece of news that we are sharing – we are widgetized. Gizmoojo adgent is now on widgetbox and you can easily integrate widgetbox into your blog and site. You can find Gizmoojo adgent under the money makers category, and hey..not bad for being the most subscribed under the money makers category. widgetbox is now open to public.. so go get your widgets… [...]
