Crashing Web Sites and Sour DNS

Murphy’s law states “if anything can go wrong, it will.”


I have hosted web sites — some of which have been slashdotted and featured on the NYTimes.com web site — and have never really had too much of a problem ever with uptime or server crashes or domain name server issues. I have had phenominal uptimes and amazing success with the web. It has been as reliable as a dial tone.

Until this month.



I have had the worse luck with Post Nuke and Plone installs, with DNS hosting, with Virtual and Dedicated Servers. And I have been frustrated and even lost sleep.

And then it all got better.

It is amazing, really: if you sacrifice one or two weekend days as burnt offerings to the web gods, they are appeased and return the tempest to calm seas.
