Appreciating My Hosting Provider
Posted By Ardellis on June 3, 2007
There are times when I wonder why I’m paying for my own website, with URL registration and hosting fees, when all I really do here is blog. Then I read crap like this and I realize it’s totally worth the pittance I pay (less than $10 a month when averaged out) to not be at the mercy of idiots. My hosting company, DrakNet, is not only mondo affordable, but the owner is a sensible human being who actually talks to us on the customer mailing list.
I mean, really, people, it’s a blinking role playing game. Of course there will be villains. One of the fun things about LJ is that users can put whatever they want in their profiles as interests. And RPG villains will have interests in villainous things.
Six Apart/LJ has since been doing a whole lot of embarrassed backpedalling. It seems to me that they could have saved themselves a lot of grief if they’d just rubbed their brain cells together a bit more before they began suspending accounts and realized that giving their Abuse team authority to use discretion might be a good thing.
