You know, for a minute there I thought you were speaking Welsh

That's quite a mouthful if you try to say it outloud.

Heh, I can only spot certain words but it gets garbled somwhere around the back and forward slashes.

I just don't get it - you take a language that doesn't have a written version, and decide to write it down using english letters.  Why not just use the letters with their already established phonetics?  Seriously, "Gwd lwc" should not be pronounced "Good luck"!

[NoRad]

I pronounced that "god, look!" as if you were frustrated with somebody while trying to explain something.

Since this has turned in to an off-topic post, what happened to your site, Rad?  louispimps is down!  I was trying to look at an example someone posted, and by the time I clicked on the 2nd link, it was gone.

Well, today was the prime example of why I shouldn't make a ton of changes and last minute decisions at 4am.
Last night I was fed up with paying so much for my own server in a colocation facility that I share with my cousin. A long time ago I was really into building my own server and trying to host sites for other people, oh and I had game servers running as well. Then the ISP we're tied in with changed from Savvis to a reseller of Limelight Networks. Our pings went up about 40ms, but our bandwidth was decent. The problem is, this killed my game server business. Web hosting is so cheap that I got tired of being nickle and dimed by people, and in my line of work I get a lot of requests from musicians and DJs wanting me to host their websites full of mp3s (bandwidth oh no for me).

So... I said why not try one of those shared hosting plans? I only need to host about a dozen websites. I got a wild idea to shift my main site to Omnis.com, and in the process I transfered the domain. The rest of my sites were going to panelhosting.com... Well, it took me all night to transfer the files, even directly from my server to theirs. The database massaging was a bit tedious at times, but I got everything up and running.

Then at like 8:00 AM I'm finished and my fiance` comes into the room before leaving for work and says "Why is louipimps loading so slow?" ... This was when I sucked it up and admitted that the omnis pages were loading slower, and that the database queries were nowhere near as fast. I flipped the proverial switch to kick everything back over to my current website, which included some tweaking of the nameservers.

All of them were good to go, being redirected back to my colocated server, save one... louipimps.com ... For some reason, an old registrar that I am geting away from as fast as possible had a glitch when I submitted my name server changes at 8:30 AM. They didn't take... and thus Louipimps.com was still pointing to Omnis.com ... Half of my users were posting on a website from 8-11am that was then deleted when I cancelled my setup with omnis, then everybody was getting the basic Omnis web cluster message and nothing else...

It wasn't until 4pm that I realized this didn't take, thinking that it was just taking awhile to propagate. I re entered the name servers not once, but twice before it accepted, and then from around 4 in the afternoon to 8pm it was hit or miss as to whether louipimps was resolving correctly.

So... The moral of this story is, your own dedicated server is always better than shared hosting, don't screw around with nameservers unless you are certain of the change, and most importantly don't make decisions at 4am. Ahhh that felt good to get off my chest.

and most importantly don't make decisions at 4am.

That's the one that always gets me
