I come to work today and receive an IM from Matt telling me that the Rising Star Detroit site is done! FUCK YES. Huge weight off of my back. There are still a few modifications that need to be made but for the most part, its functional.

I am slowly making my way out of that stress pile. My only problem now is dealing with a completely incompetent hosting company. This company hosts my Wreckless Media Radio website and forum, my tech blog, this site, and a few others. The name of this horrible company is PowWeb Hosting, or as I like to call them PooWeb Hosting. All of my sites have about a 50% uptime. It’s a flip of a coin every time someone visits my site if it will be up or not. I have used a lot of hosting companies in the past, both good and bad, and nothing compares to the terrible service or PowWeb. They have taken on so many customers with their seemingly great deal on hosting, and cannot handle the amount of traffic that their customers pull in. The mysql server goes down about every 20 minutes. I have had to contact their tech support literally every day this month, sometimes up to 5 times a day. Completely unacceptable. And the tech support people are all idiots. They either try to blame it on you or they copy and paste this from their list of scripted answers, “I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.”

Well I will be getting new hosting very soon so I don’t have to worry about retards running my hosting. That stress pile is ALMOST GONE!
