Well my ICQ is going a little bit crazy with LikeWhoa having problems. This is very unfortunate and I'm going to lose quite a bit of traffic in the meantime. These things happen and I'm not one to panic.
Boneprone is sleeping at the moment... we had a brief conversation regarding the downtime around 8:30 AM EST... I've consulted with some other BP4L family members and as far as I can tell nobody has made a definitive decision. I think I get pretty good advice from my nerd friends so I have decided to make a public announcement as to my move. I don't transfer TONS of bandwidth, but I do think that people are interested in where BP4L is going with its hosting decision -- because there is obviously a lot of chatter on the subject whenever it becomes an issue...
I think I know what Boneprone is going to do... but he can decide what to do when he wakes up. In the meantime I'm going to host with an old friend at Reflected.net -- I've had stuff hosted with them for years now so it's not too big of a deal... They have boxes in Chicago on the same bandwidth as Google so I'm not really concerned about uptime
I look forward to doing more biz with LikeWhoa in the future. I have a feeling that my move to Reflected.net will be strategic with what Boneprone decides on...
Nick has told me that he is improving his upstream relationships and I am confident in his abilities, but this downtime is not good for my business.
Lots of guys are sending me ICQ's asking me where I'm moving to... This is not an simple choice -- because I have a keen interest in the hosting biz and there are friendships involved...
I know there's some drama in the hosting biz, but purely from my standpoint I know that reflected.net and isprime have a good working relationship -- I'm not sure if that will come into play in the future, but it makes me feel warm and fuzzy for now if any other BP4L people move to isprime -- I know AaronM is already over at isprime and he always seems enthusiastic about them.
I'd rather not get into any drama over this -- I just want to make my position clear -- my decision to move to reflected.net is the best move for my business and I feel comfortable with company on a personal level and from a technical standpoint. Based on my experience, it is very important to have a personal relationship with your host and also confidence in the nerds behind the keyboards...
