AmigaUniverse schließt aufgrund andauernder Probleme mit Provider
Wird aber hoffentlich bald wieder unter http://www.amigauni.u-net.com erreichbar sein:

It is with regret that, following 100 hours of FTP server downtime, I announce the closure of Amiga Universe, as hosted at http://www.amigauniverse.co.uk.

My reasons for this should be clear if you have been a regular visitor to this site since May 1st. Fasthosts, the company who are pretending to host the site, have repeatedly had long downtimes which have prevented both visitors from reading the site, and now, me from updating it.

The events of this weekend have been the last straw. Fasthosts, in their infinite wisdom, restored a two month old backup index.html which points users AWAY from the site back to our old U-Net one.

I don't often make these kind of attacks, but Fasthosts must be one of the most shambolic (dis)organisations I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. I would not recommend them to my worst enemies. I doubt they could plug in a kettle, much less a whole hosting company.

For the time being, until another host can be found, Amiga Universe will be moving back to the U-Net site at http://www.amigauni.u-net.com. This site should be up and running again within the week.

My apologies for the repeated problems that have dragged AU through the mud during the last 40 days. It has affected our visitor numbers, our reputation, and had serious consequences on the colour of my hair and amount still on my head.

Never, ever use Fasthosts, for your own good.

Until AU can find a hoster we can afford, this is me, signing off.

Best Regards
