Well, i've noticed that lots of pokmon sites have been recently going down... almost at the same time. Most of the ones i've noticed are those hosted by PokeHQ, such as Pichusb.com, SPPnet.com, PokSpecial, PokeTop500.com for example.

I guess as most of these sites are hosted by the PokeHQ, there must a server issue of some kind. I was wondering if there's anyone who has managed to know what's going on with Shawn's hosting or where is he. I'd like to know. (I think this thread should go here, as it's basically webmaster talk.)

So if anyone knows something, please let us know posting on this thread :)

Really, I have no clue why Shawn's server's been crapping up like it has been. Poke Peninsula was down too until JA moved it off his server.
And I think Brandon closed his site, but don't quote me on that. =/

Shawn's hosting is *constantly* down, I got completely sick of it and moved back to Greg, although I don't get as much space/bandwidth there. Notice that PHQ is rarely down when the rest of his hosted sites are down. Shawn's server seems to have disappeared completely, you can't get into your CPanel *anywhere*.

I think we're getting a little off-topic here.

It seems that there are two main Pokmon site hosts - Kyle, and Shawn - who both have major downtime problems *sigh*. Greg and I did buy a server but it fried and we had no money to fix it ;_; Or buy another one.

WCC is KyleTech, right? Anthony's been complaining to me about downtime. But Greg's out of space, so he can't host any more sites :( We really need a new server.

Well, if you are needing a good host, I will always suggest Mihopa. I know! I know! You guys think "Oh! Boy. Not again. CC's been exploding this crap out of his mouth for years now". Don't think I'm advertising. I am just suggesting a good host. I have nothing to gain by recommending more members to Mihopa and remember, if Mike hosts people for free, he loses more than he gains.

My site Pokemon Gaming Sphere(www.pokedrome.info) is hosted by Mihopa and I would like to tell you it is really much more stable than all those paid hosts I've seen who give 100MB for 9.99$ claiming 100% stability is the reason for high price=D! Amen!

Kyle is a good host too though I hear his server isn't that stable. There are absolutely not much perfect good free hosts today and I'm telling you, getting a good free host is the best boon any webmaster can get!

Hm, I've noticed this too. Anyone know what happened to the APCC? It's either been down or had some weird article about a random disease on the homepage for a really long time o_O Maybe it was hacked?
If you need me, I'm now using the account "BlueberryPoffin". Look for me. :D

APCC's been like that for years, I don't think he's interested in it anymore -_-

If you did he'd host you and you'd give benefit to everyone else XD
