We are experiencing problems on our website which is hosted with Plus Net. Despite it being down since Friday afternoon and them having the weekend to fix the problem, it is still not available at the time of writing this article.
How a company the size of Plus Net can plan to upgrade their servers without:
a. informing their hosting clients about a potential outage and allowing them to make contingency plans – how hard is it to email all with a common courtesy
and
b. going about this change with what what seems like no contingency plan for any sort of outage such as this.
In this day and age, can a web design and graphic design company afford to be without their website for over 3 days. I would suggest the answer is no.
Problems and unforeseen circumstances do occur in life and in business, but what annoys any customer is the waiting with no contact, no information; apart from a service update page buried in their website and no prior warning communication. Customer service and courtesy can help any company when problems occur – making the customer feel valued can be the difference between a glitch and a goodbye.
Will we continue with Plus Net – I’ll let you make your mind up on that one.

It seems that you’ve put a great amount of effort into your article and I need to see a lot more of these on the Internet these days. I really got a bang out of your post. I do not have a bunch to to say in reply, I only wanted to register to say remarkable work.
It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it’s always possible to find something new. :)
I noticed this was written a while ago and still gets comments! I always appreciate your tips. I often wonder if it takes one of two comments to get the ball rolling.Very good job. Thanks again.
Such a usefule blog…wow !!!!
hello cool little journal ya have there :) I use the matching theme on my own and yet for whatever weird reason why it looks to load easier on yours although your own consists of alot more content. Are you currently operating any specific plugins or widgets which will speed it up? If you could write about the widgets so I could use these on my internet sites so twilight breaking dawn fans could watch twilight breaking dawn online trailers and clips quicker I’d personally always be pleased – regards in advance :)
This is a custom theme developed by our design team. Without knowing the content of your site I can only suggest that the site is made as “light” as possible to aid the load time fo the site. We don’t have any special widgets to make the blog load faster, just optimized iamges and good code. If you are loading video, i recommend that you place the video on Youtube or Vimeo and then embed them into your blog.
As a Newbie, I’m constantly searching online for articles that can assist me. Thank you
thank! for this news it’s a good infomation !
