Previously infernal.net.nz was hosted via a Lower Hutt based company, KiwiWebHost. And they were very good – good pricing, quick to respond to support, no hassles whatsoever.
However, a few days ago I received an e-mail informing me my monthly bandwidth had reached 80% of its limit. By the time I could log in (CPanel uses port 2082 which means I can’t access it at work) it was up to 950Mb of the allowed 1Gb. The culprit – Yahoo, eating huge amounts of bandwidth. So I quickly created a robots.txt file to block it, only to find I was too late. Only two thirds of the month was gone and my site was suspended.
The good news is it has spurred me to greater things. Firstly, I’ve invested in a top-level domain name, infernus.org (unfortunately some bloody tits have bought up all the infernal variants and are trying to flog them off for silly money so I’ve got for the latin version). Secondly, I’ve moved my hosting to the UK, via DataFlame. I don’t have an NZ credit card anymore so this was going to have to happen at some point anyway, and given they offer 10Gb of bandwidth it seemed like a good time to jump.
The bad news is infernal.net.nz is down at present… Drupal is throwing a wobbly when requests arrive via infernal.net.nz. God knows when I’ll find time to fix it – I’ve got the CPanel problem at work and I’m off to the Globe to see Titus Andronicus tonight. Probably over the weekend…ah, such an exciting way to spend the bank holiday!
