my own webhosting
So some of you probably noticed my website has been down the last few days. The server that actually hosts www.mikeb.org died, and is in need of parts. There is nothing I can do about it since it is owned by some friends and stored in a place I have no access to. I hate depending on other people for my website/email, so I've gone out and bought my own "virtual server" finally.
I depend on two servers for backup DNS/email, but the primary DNS/email/web is done by my own stuff now. For the technically inclined, it's a FreeBSD jail that I'm using. I'm buying it from JVDS (http://www.jvds.com) for $15/month.
So. I'll give this offer to those that are reading. If you'd like a more reliable method of hosting DNS/web/email/etc.. let me know. We can talk about specifics, and whether I can do it for free or not =). And anyone who already does their own stuff that wants backup DNS/MX, let me know.
So, long story short, my website is more reliable now.
