thanks mike, that site appears to be down to me as well. i'm currently in new zealand - so it may be a local issue.
I'm curious why you would say that? I have found them to be 10 times better then any host. It should be noted that they weren't down at all today
Omega seems to be working fine. Dont know about others. Just check the servers status. ps: ASO expensive? pffff *Shakes head*
ASO has been great for a small site I run with them. Even had a few supprot requests completed timely. Was suprised to see they even answered me since I got the cheapest plan on there.
my ASO account is external to our other accounts for SEO purposes. Considering the amount many of us spend on hosing, the advantage of shopping to save $1/month is limited. Like the joke goes, if bill gates stops to pick up a $100 bill on the way into work, he lost money
hostgator has hundreds of servers if all the sites they host are down it would kind of be a big problem, like maybe a data center blew up or something
