Domains, hosting and aspirin

[Kurt]

First I let my domain name KurtMelvin.com lapse. It's registered with a service I don't use much and just missed it. I renewed it OK but it's taking a while to propogate and not noticing I've sent emails with links to that domain so....not good.

Then I notice the VPS that hosts some of my domains, including KurtMelvin.com and this one Pheeds.com was down. So I log into my hosting account to request support. It wasn't just my VPS down but it appears the host's entire network was down. I've had the VPS go down for short periods once in a while, but have never not been able to even log into the host's site and support system.

Now for a double-dose of aspirin...
