Well, the impulse engines are online at least. Time will tell about the mains and hitting warp speed. The number 4 shield is still iffy, but it’s not covering a critical area so we will limp along with it.
I will say this, I was pleasantly surprised by one thing in regards Nexcess: they did indeed honor their 30-day guarantee. I really didn’t expect them to do so given how hard they push the upsell. But, they ended service and refunded my money in a couple of hours as it worked out. PayPal already has the funds and they are working their way back to my account. If their service and customer service had been as advertised, it would have been a very different situation.
Waiting a bit before I say anything about the new host as I don’t want to jinx it. I also want to see how they handle an Instalanche or two as well. I’m fully expecting to have to do some upgrading or additional payments, but that’s not because of anything they have said. Rather, it is because even with the plan I opted for, an Instalanche may tax the resources a bit. Besides, I’m also willing to pay for help in/on some of the behind the scenes work dealing with various things that were not a factor 20 years ago when blogging was new.
We have power. We are back in operation. More soon.
