  Meir Host down AGAIN



Appears that all sites are affected including Meir Host homepage. This is becoming almost a daily occurrance now with nothing being fed back by David or Meir Host which is very disappointing. I have monitors setup and minimum 5 times a week there is some sort of report, albeit only minutes, usually not during normal hours (note normal hours are different to affiliates hours )

Time to stop them PPC campaigns AGAIN before they cost a fortune and generate £0.00. I'm now tempted to start invoicing claims Meir Hosts way if it continues like this.

PS - anyone looking for recommendations, for now I would suggest they stay away from Meir Host until the issue is resolved - it maybe server specific. In the past they have been great, recently mediocre and lately pretty poor.

  Re: Meir Host down AGAIN

In an attempt to help resolve this issue, and going by all previous outages, I have suspended all my PPC Campaigns after nearly 2 hours of outage. In the past, this has resulted in all functionality returning within 5 minutes....

I can't ring Meir to see what the hell is going on as their own website is down and I don't have their phone number to hand

Sorry to hear you're having so many problems Frostie.

I was in exactly the same boat with another host (site5) recently and it nearly drove me mad.

The only solution I found was moving my sites elsewhere..

I have an account with Meirhost and I've had no problems. I wonder if it's the particular server you're on? Perhaps they could move your site(s) to a different one if you lean on them.

Lucky you!

All my sites are still offline. I was originally on SV2 but due to issues on that server, was migrated to SV5 about 18mths ago with the idea that I wouldn't experience any problems. Sadly over the past 6 mths it hasn't been the case. In the meantime, just sit here in hope that either it will be fixed, or there will be some sort of communication.

  Re: Meir Host down AGAIN

They all appear to be back

oh no they're not...... oops hang on..... nope.... yes yes I saw it!.... gone again


Looks like its been a major problem, as the data showing on my website is out of date. By the looks of things only by a few hours but about 20 additional pages I created have vanished. Still we are almost back up and running

At the moment all my sites are up and meirhosting.net is down. I dunno what the server is called that my sites are on but it's IP address is 87.117.204.168.

  Re: Meir Host down AGAIN

I've not had any problems with sv7 today, but have with sv5, which is dissappointing, especially as i moved away from my other host because it was unreliable and i run both merchant and affiliate businesses from them!

In meirhosting's defence, i've had updates and help from David along the way today.
