DreamHost Problems

I am sure that most of you know DreamHost host company. Everybody that use this host know that last time they have many problems with it. The problems are not reachable website, slow speed of working. Anyway i thought today they solve the problems but now i see my two websites that use Dreamhost are down for good.

Good place to search for news is DreamHost Status page.

I got right, entry from 41 minutes say in first sentence:

Aside from early indications that the router hardware swap was successful last night it seems today that things are depressingly close to the way they were before.

So it was good, like i said but:

…..we ran into a problem.

This was the next phrase.

Another not good news is:

The upshot of this is we’ll be having another network maintenance window tomorrow, September 13th, at 10pm PDT.

Also some interested text:

(Just to get everybody on the same page.. essentially ALL performance and stability problems experienced over the last months have been due to these internal network problems. High web and mail server loads are due to the lag they’re getting when NFS mounting the file system from our file servers. This causes slow/flakey performance across the board. It’s actually not a matter of overloaded servers or anything like that, it’s all this very weird network problem that has had us and Cisco stumped. We’ve now completely replaced all the related physical networking gear and it’s still happening. Cisco support and network consultants have been unable to find any problems with our configuration or hardware and have no explanation as to why things are still behaving like they are. So we’re now upgrading the core routers to be 8 times more powerful.)

Hope they will find the solution. …. 8 times more powerful… yee right… i want to see that
