1372830 2014-04-16 02:06:00 Ah yes, well the last few days have been very much like that. Flexihost claim it is due to moving the site to a new server. Issues started Sunday lunchtime... hueybot3000 (3646)
1372831 2014-04-16 02:12:00 Their customer service is obviously **** then, because they should be able to factor that sort of thing into their operation. They should have minimal down time. First you get the new server up and running and tested then you migrate stuff on to it, ideally over a weekend starting late Friday night and finishing late Sunday.

If they were a corporate business their customers and staff would be ringing up the help desk bitching.

1372832 2014-04-16 02:41:00 Flexihost was bought by Webdrive.

Webdrive
Openhost
Webbase
Domains4Less (Aus and NZ)
Hosting Direct (merged into Openhost)


Internet Services Group is the name they use on their bank account.

Quite likely actually.
They bought the servers too, they weren't the best.....about time they did change it.


Your server:
ns2.flexihost.co.nz.

This is Webdrives actual servers:

ns3.nameserver.net.nz.
ns1.nameserver.net.nz.
ns2.nameserver.net.nz.

1372834 2014-04-16 03:04:00 Well the link you posted let me to an error page rather than to your church website. I also googled mairehauparish and still got an error page c/o cPanel tried that link a few minutes after it was posted here and it woks perfectly, just tried now and its still working perfectly.

personally with web drive, apart from once when they had a bit of a email problem (which was sorted within a very short time) the hosting has been 100% perfect.

1372837 2014-04-16 08:37:00 Working well for me, when it was first posted and just now, I'm on Telecom. zqwerty (97)
1372838 2014-04-16 08:50:00 Not working now, but was earlier.

Webdrive brought flexihost back in July 2012, who ever runs takes care of the site may need to call webdrive and get it sorted. The site reply's a ping test.

1372839 2014-04-16 08:52:00 I have 4 websites hosted by "Hosting Direct" at $9.20 a month each.

I have better service with them than with "Digi-web" who host two of my sites at 4 times the price.
