BraveNet Reviews

I recently moved my development site from Godaddy to Bravenet and immediately started experiencing problems. Below is a transcript of the trouble ticket. Doug is one sharp individual to track this one down for me! I just hope you all can understand the leap of insight it took to solve it.

For those of you still using "Bargain" hosting for development, it just is not worth it, spend a little more and sleep a lot better!

Member [Leonard Begy]January 31, 2009 05:28:50As often as not my site will not load "cannot display the web page" This is a development site and my client has no problem loading site at any time, this is more than embarassing, as quite often I have to explain to him that work has not progressed because I cannot load site. Please resolve this issue I have had the site less than a month and have been dealing with this issue since day one! If I must I will move on to try another host.

Dear Leonard Begy,

It appears that you have trollnest.com both as a native domain (under this account) and as an external domain (under the ButchTroll account). This is causing a situation where half the time one account is being addressed, the other half the other account is. I'll check with our developers to find out how this happened in the first place, but your best bet to get everything working again is to remove trollnest.com from your external domains under your ButchTroll account.

Please let me know if you continue to run into problems!

Member [Leonard Begy]February 3, 2009 17:41:43Hey, thanks! nice job, you definately deserve a cookie!

Member [Leonard Begy]February 3, 2009 17:46:36P.S. the way this happened is that I had created the free site in contemplation of moving my programming efforts from godaddy to bravenet. I was with you guys in the early days of your operation, in the times of static IP's and private servers. Anyway the domain had expired and I re-registered it with you. I had forgotten all about my free site. thx again!
