(This site was www.energizedhosting.com. Do not use them.) The second place has -- twice -- managed to completely fuck over our Postgres database (tables, rights, and data missing.) "How did they accomplish that?" you ask? Why, by upgrading cPanel, of course. Oh, and they don't back up Postgres databases, so I had to restore everything from emails that I had decided to keep around "just in case." (This site is www.assortedinternet.com. Do not use them.) I'm considering re-working this application to use MySQL instead of Postgres, just so there are a larger number of hosts that might possibly support us. -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania Edited by Yendor March 6, 2007, 08:55:11 AM EST Seconded I do side work, and my requirements fall along the lines of Java/Tomcat/Postgres/Perl/SSH.

Post #277,498 by drewk 3/6/07 5:07:15 PM Reply	Well in that case ... I think I'd like to get them working again while I look for a new host. Are they backed up on chutney somewhere? As for the lists, I'll assume we were dropped from the list when they saw we didn't exist any more. === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
