The server I rent from 1and1 hosting (www.1and1.com) crashed again. The name 1and1 hosting is a synonym for unreliable hosting. :^(
This is the 24th crash in three months. 1and1 won't repair or replace the server because it can't be proved that it's their fault. They claim that Linux (CentOS 5.2 actually) is so unreliable that websites crash it. The same websites ran without a problem for over five years on the FreeBSD operating system. I have several other Linux servers (including one using CentOS 5.2) and none of them have any problems. The problem here is either their hardware or something they did wrong in setting up the OS on the computer.
