Back online with a new dedicated server

Tags: Human Interest
Author: Darren Ferguson

My site is back online after a little enforced downtime. I was having real stability problems using a WebFusion VPS and as far as I am concerned their introductory VPS package is unfit for purpose. I'd strongly recommend that you don't attempt to host an Umbraco site with them.

The more eagle eyed amongst you may notice that a couple of posts went missing. I'll just say that I have learned the hard way to check whether my scheduled database backups are running or not.

Anyway, I am back up and running on a dedicated server. Hopefully my site(s) should be a little more stable now.

    just a quick thought about reconstructing your lost posts:

    - Do a "site: www.darren-ferguson.com" search at Google and extract them from Google's cached pages before they are removed from there as well...

    I was reading in the old umbraco forum that you were having problems with the webfusion vps setup. I was thinking of using there Vps Plus for my umbraco site. Do you think now they have got their act together?
