Yutter Goes Down Hard

It seems the RSS to e-mail service Yutter is down for the count and potentially out of luck. I just surfed over there to play some more with their service, only to see the notice below:

That’s especially interesting to me because I was evaluating SteadFast Networks as a potential replacement for DreamHost (after recent issues). Looks like they are off the list. What a mess.

    I was considering switching to DreamHost after issues with Rochen. It’s quite difficult to find something that’s reliable and has all of the features you want.

    Yeah…I may stick with DreamHost for now but I’m still looking. You may want to give Successful Hosting a peak. I’m not sure what you need but I typically look for SSH, custom MX, and some scripts like Form Mail (amongst PHP, MySQL, and the other basics). They have all of those.

    Wow. What a fiasco for a company. It’s a much needed reminder to that each person/small business should have an automated our manual process for multiple (i.e. redundant) backups. This could and should include off-site server space, removable hard drives, and DVD or ZIP backups.

    I hope your backing up Ken. :)
