New Web Host

My current Linux Web Host, Ausweb has let me down on 2 occasions in the past Month.

On both occasions, the sites I’ve hosted with them have been down (as well as their own website!) for a sizeable amount of time.

The first time, the site was down for around an hour. When I asked them about it, I wasn’t given a satisfactory response. The lastest outage caused my sites to be ‘off the air’ spasmodically during a 24 hour period. Once again, I was given an unsatisfactory explanation for this outage.

Not good enough Ausweb!

A Member of one of my sites, Yellow and Black suggested MD Web Hosting. I’ve opened a Reseller Account with them and am starting to move some of my personal sites to their servers. I’ve also moved one of my client sites (Melbourne Ultrasound for Women) to MD Web Hosting.

I’ll move the rest of my personal sites (except for Yellow and Black) to MD Web Hosting so I can determine their performance over the next 2 to 3 Months. Once I’m confident their service is better, I’ll move Yellow and Black to them and cancel Ausweb for good.

There is no change to my current Windows Hosts, Crystaltech and WebHost4Life. They’re both giving me great response times and very good uptime.
