Open DNS? What Do We Pay You For?

I am not sure how many sites my readers have attempted to access the last two days that were down due to server issues. I know that I have hit atleast 10 sites, including one of my own, that have been down do to server issues with our hosting providers.

I'm not talking small sites either...Affiliate Funnel appears to have been having issues all day. Now we all know who owns and runs this site, and I bet they are having minor coronaries at the moment. Service is king to them, and their site hasn't been appearing on the 50 or so exchanges I surf daily at all today.

So I ask you....

WHAT are we PAYING you for? I live with a Network Manager for crying out loud, and he would literally die if his servers went down. He has a back up server for his back up server. Don't you? Or do you take that $10 - to God only knows how much a month and spend it at the mall?

One of my favorite sites, TEClicks has been down for almost TWO DAYS! That is one wonderful webmistress that should take a ride to her web host and beat him with a wet towel.

What in the blazes of all that isn't holy are you people doing? Sitting on your rear and twiddling your thumbs isn't an excuse either, so come up with a better one. Don't blame someone else...FIX it. And if you can't, well atleast have the guts to admit that your service isn't up to par and maybe we should find other hosts to handle our sites.

The excuse of we are working on it isn't acceptable. We are paying you our hard earned money to provide a service....PROVIDE it.

Best Wishes,
