I sent an email but I'm sure it won't go through. They are probably aware of it but does anyone have in ICQ contact info or anything?

Yeah, I got ICQ. Not sure what's up.

How often do they go down, tho? I wouldn't worry about it, they'll be back up soon.

They've been pretty good with only a few short downtimes since I've been with them. I'm sure they are aware of it and working on it, but I would just feel better KNOWING that they know about it.

I just got off the phone with them.
Its not a techie media problem, its a Level3 problem that's being worked on as we speak.


And the 72 hours a few months ago was 1 virtual server, not the whole hosting operation. And if I'm not mistaken everyone who was on that server got that month of hosting for free.

So basically this thread says "DO NOT GO WITH ANYONE WHO IS NOT MULTIHOMED". Okay, got it. Thanks for clearing that up.

I have been with them for a few years, and they are pretty solid IMHO, I just got off phone with them, and it is a Level 3 provider issue, that is being worked on (obviously). Nothing is a perfect world, so give them a break, it's not like they want to be down??...

If you're going to be single homed you should just use cogent (@ about .10/gig wholesale).


These days there are plenty of multi-homed providers who offer very competitive rates - competitive enough to where if you are going to be single homed then you are looking for "cheap hosting", so providers who use single homed cogent, Gx or Verio bandwidth should clearly be the best choice for the money.

If you are talking about the 100mbit deal they have at $1000/month, note that it does not include anything else but the bandwidth, you still need to 'dig a pipe' to your office/datacenter. The $3000/month deal does not include the setup fee, hardware or rackspace.

Yeah same here, I ICQed them a bit ago.

I've never had a problem using them. I think this one is out of there control or they would have been back up and running by now.

Techie was always multi-homed.
They just got done moving all of thier servers to a new datacenter in NJ.
They're still working on contracts with other providers for backup. It sucks that level3 had a fuckup before a backup was in place but that's life.

I was just able to pull a tiny amount of data from my site, but then it quit. Not sure if this means things are starting to come back online or not.

This downtime does suck, but I'm sure they're doing everything possible to get us back up. Techie Media is a top notch company.

Yep, they went down at 10AM. I'm going to lose at least $800 because of this fucking down time.

all quite over here too.... getting more than a little upset

shouldn't they have contacted everyone and stated what is going on?

I've left a few messages and still nothing. I'm sure they're working to correct things, but let's not leave people in the dark... I'm scared of the dark!
