Main Web Site Down

My main web site is down. I host with x10hosting.com, which has been pretty reliable for the past 9-10 months. They decided to move sites and now www.pelleys.com doesn’t work. Now you will get x10hosting’s main web page.

Obviously, something needs to be properly configured on x10hosting’s side. I’ll give them a couple of days. After all, it is a free hosting service so I can’t be too hard on them.

I did look into 000webhost.com but I don’t want to use their DNS servers. I’ve used dtdns.com for years and it has been very stable and the cost is very reasonable (not free, but damn close).

Anyway, if this keeps up I’ll look into a couple of other free hosting solutions. I used to host www.pelleys.com on my own webserver but I actually like to be able to take my time on maintenance, etc (or when the hardware failed which happened with the old server). webpics.pelleys.com and blog.pelleys.com (obviously) is still up but they are hosted at home.

About Mike Pelley

Let’s see… A little about me… I’ve been around information technology since 1983 with computers such as DEC Rainbows (weird machine – the standard DOS couldn’t format its own floppy disks – remember them? – and I had to format them on a friend’s IBM PC) to Radio Shack TRS-80 to Apple ][e and Apple //c in the beginning. I have programmed in 8-bit assembly language on 6502, FORTRAN and COBOL on IBM System/370 (and I still hate JCL), VAX BASIC and COBOL (and a weird and massive WordPerfect 4.0 macro) on DEC VMS (Alpha), C/C++ on Digital Unix (ALPHA), and C/C++, Perl (it may be powerful but I still hate it), PHP on Linux (Red Hat, Centos, Ubuntu, etc.). I have work with databases such as Digital RDB (later to become Oracle RDB), Oracle DBMS, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL on VAX, Alpha, Sun and Intel. Check out my professional profile and connect with me on LinkedIn. See http://lnkd.in/nhTRZe I still think that Digital created some of the best ideas in the world: VAX clustering, DSSI disks (forerunner to SCSI) and the Alpha processor (first commercial 64-bit processor – Red Hat screamed on an Alpha!). DEC just could not seem to be able to give air conditioners away to someone lost in the Sahara Desert! VMware is one of the best ways to get the most out of an x64 server. And I have tried Oracle VM, Virtual Box and Microsoft Virtual Server. Outside of that I am a huge military history buff starting in the early 20th century. I love Ford Mustangs (my ’87 Mustang GT was awesome) and if I had the money I would have a Porsche 928S4. If I had a lot of money I would have a Porsche 911 Turbo. I also play too much AmrA 3 Exile mod. Over 5,000+ hours... I have a wonderful son, Cameron. I have a long suffering (Do you really need all that computer junk?) wife, Paula. I live in Paradise, Newfoundland and Labrador.
