I agree for web2py.com/examples for book and other apps it could be a sinchronization nightmare. I will check if vps.net dns supports this. On Mar 1, 5:33 am, DenesL denes1...@yahoo.ca wrote: Having mirrors would be another option. On Feb 28, 4:13 pm, mdipierro mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu wrote:

BTW I wouldn't advise combining DNS and webhosting in one single supplier. Much better to have two independent ones. After all, if you have a problem with your webhost (they go bust, dispute, or go down for whatever reason), you may need to switch over to something else without even having to

Interesting service but the cloud service is $149/month. Right now considering the web2py needs we are at about $45/month. Almost all providers are about the same once you add up ram, storage for backups and monthly bandwidth. Massimo On Mar 1, 11:40 am, Yarko Tymciurak

I just received an email from VPS.net saying that they have been busy upgrading the system to give all clients 50% more RAM and some extra CPU speed, free of charge. That's good news, but maybe that was their upgrade work that disrupted the system on Saturday. (BTW I didn't have any probs,

You are right. We may need a community solution. I could give root privileges to a couple of people on this list although the problem is never with the server itself. We have had problems with the DNS when we migrated and we have had problems with the hosting provider. In all of these cases there
