QOT has had a longer downtime than expected. Dreamhost disabled our account without warning for TOS violation. We are still trying to figure how we violated the TOS, and would have done all to fix any issue we were unaware of.
We searched for a new
managed VPS hosting service and were recommended
Knownhost by many Twitter friends. So we are migrating to Knownhost and this has given us an opportunity to spread our wings on a VPS server, which will help QOT to grow beyond the restraints of shared web hosting. It costs more, but is worth the money.
The site has been down now for 4 days, in efforts to get our account back, get backups, find a new host, setup a new VPS, set up new private nameservers and now the site is in place and undergoing
DNS propagation for over 24 hours. I hope Google gets our traffic back when we get back online.
We hope to be back online soon with tech tricks and blogging tips. We learnt a lot from this experience and cannot wait to share it with our readers. Lets wait and see all goes well...
