The downside to 'free'

12/6/2008

0 Comments

 

My website, and this blog, has been down for 2 days because of some server change at the hosting company. I used to run an ISP so I know the hassles involved in server moves, but I also know that service is the key to rising above the current hosting-as-a-commodity value.

Weebly.com is a FREE Ajax-based site that helps me waste little time setting up this site and modifying it. I recommend it for it's ease of use, it's design, and, oh yeah, it's free.

I am willing to accept a lot of restrictions because it is a free proposition. However, it still irks me that I receive the email below 24 hours before the server is moved. And on top of that support never responded to my email asking if this was a fishing scheme (scam) or if they really are moving servers.

OK self, stop complaining... you get what you pay for.

Hi,

We are showing that www.jeanfahmy.com's A record is currently pointing to our old IP address: 72.52.67.60

It is necessary for you to update this record to our new IP address (65.49.35.140) as soon as possible in order to maintain uninterrupted service. We apologize for this inconvenience, but our hosting provider is switching locations and our old IP address will no longer be available.

In order to update your domain's A record, follow these steps:

1. Login to your domain name management interface (ex. http://www.godaddy.com)

2. Locate where to update the A record of this domain
   Note: This option is usually located under an "Advanced DNS" page. GoDaddy users should click on the "Total DNS Control and MX Records" link.

3. Point the root of your domain (usually identified by a * or @) to Weebly's new IP address: 65.49.35.140
   Note: Since your domain's A record is already set to our old IP address, you should only have to update fields that have 72.52.67.60 to our new IP address, 65.49.35.140

If you are in need of additional assistance, please send an email to support@weebly.com and we will respond promptly.

Sincerely,
The Weebly Team
