[Coco] Feedback, anyone?

[David Gacke]

Hi Roger,

To get a seamless move of your website you'll need to have 2 servers,
one at the old ip address and one at the new address. Both with
identical content, or the old one with a redirect to the new ip address
and a friendly "We're moving." message.

The problem exists because it takes days for all servers across the net
to retrieve new DNS information. It's not because nobody knows how, it's
because that's the way DNS works.

But in either case, they still sound like a bunch of clowns.  :)

Thanks.  I'll keep you in mind.  All of my sites are currently on Linux 
servers.  CIHOST.COM has been the best I've seen so far and I always get

tech help 24/7.  The Red Hat boxes are perfect for scripts written for 
Linux.  The reason I have shyed away from moving the site over to CIHOST
is 
because the other powers that be (the DNS people) have not figured out a

way to transfer a domain name seamlessly.  Every domain I have ever 
transferred took days to do, leaving the web site down.  DotEasy is 
NOTORIOUS for not releasing your domain name even though you requested
it 
using their form.  It takes several movements to get them to act.  If
you 
have web clients, you know how they can react to a site being down for
days 
or a week.   To sum up DotEasy.com hosting, they are very quick to sell 
Ultra Hosting accounts that have it all but are extremely (and I mean
VERY 
extremely poor) with customer service.  The worst I've ever 
experienced.  My hair is trying to turn gray because of these guys
posing 
as sysadmins.
