The Kyle File

I just got [CloudFlare](https://www.cloudflare.com/ enabled and working correctly on my websites. Looking really good so far.

All my websites have been online since early this morning. Many thanks to Devyll Productions!

My websites went dark again, but thanks to Devyll Productions, my troubles should soon be over.

Over the last couple of weeks, my preferred hosting provider was plagued with many problems that were beyond the control of the administrators. Their main server mass suspended every account and then went offline completely. Then they brought another server online, but the nameservers never worked and there were a host (pun intended) of CPanel issues. However, on Monday, an entirely new server was brought online, and it’s working perfectly, and is faster than ever. I had switched over to another p2h (post to host) provider as a stopgap measure until HostMafia came back online, but the alternate provider had its own problems, including the fact that although my account was allowed unlimited addon domains, CPanel gave me an error on my first addon domain, saying that I was not allowed more than 0 addon domains. A support ticket has produced no results to this day, and the forum posting rules disallow bumping my ticket or even requesting that someone look at it in their live support chat room

Well, I have to say that with all the problems that both hosts were having, it came down to a race to get my websites up and running with the first one that worked, and HostMafia came through again. In spite of the problems they have had, which I do believe were beyond their control, I feel I have found the best hosting provider for my needs, and I do not hesitate to recommend HostMafia to anyone looking to get one or more websites up and running, and who doesn’t mind paying for their hosting package by contributing to a vibrant and friendly community.

At the time I write this, the hosting packages are still not online. However, they are expected to be available again within the next two days. Thank you HostMafia for not giving up in the face of all the recent server problems, and for continuing to provide web hosting services to the community. You get the Kyle seal of approval. :)

All my websites have been down since early yesterday afternoon. Ironically, I have just been thinking over the last couple of days how cool it would be to take my blog to the next level, (open source), and host it in the same place where my other sites are currently hosted. Down time is unavoidable, I guess, but 20 hours? This really hurts!
