How much downtime is acceptable? This might be a silly question because the obvious answer is none but it seems the real word seems to offer something different.
My site is hosted on Bluehost. And maybe for a couple of issues, they have been very reliable and I have been quite satisfied. But every so often, I am working on something and my site is down because of various reasons: CPU Bandwidth issues, internal error and blah blah. I think one of my wordpress plugins, Wordtube, which I love dearly and use extensively is the culprit (my media files are hosted on blip). Speaking to the tech support peeps, they point to several plugins as the reasons for outtages. But I love and need my plugins. And I have to say that for the most part, I install plugins that I really need. Are any of you wordpress users (who host their own blogs) facing these issues? If you do, do you find your site down from time to time? if so, how long? What are your secrets to keeping an healthy site? What are the big sites doing in terms of the backend and all that? And more importantly... When will videoblogging not suck time from my day? When will I stop having to deal with php or mysql code crap? When will I stop feeling like a dumbass for hosting my own site? Ajit http://squigglebooth.com/
