A few days ago the server hosting this site experienced some technical difficulties. The blog pages couldn’t be accessed and emails to me bounced. If you sent me something in the past few days and haven’t received a response, please resend it.
In the meantime I am looking into better hosting options. Recommendations?
[Update 6/20/06: Thanks for the tips. We're in the process of switching everything over to hostingexcellence.com. So far everything blog-related has been transferred and should be reliably available from now on; emails and the various other pages will transfer soon.]

Everything Adam could do for you, they let you do yourself. And for cheaper.
I’ve had some issues with 500 Internal Server Errors on Movable Type, but it seems to be an MT problem. They have 24/7 tech support by phone, email, or live chat, and they’re pretty good about it. I’m extremely happy with them, except for their inability to fix the 500 Errors that aren’t even their fault.
There’s about ten gazillion times better than any other host I’ve had.
I like hostingmatters.com. Very responsive, very cheap, hardly ever any downtime.
Thanks guys, I’m checking them out.
