Dreamhost: CURL and BlogBabel Rank Down

What's up? Internet goes crazy? MyBlogLog emits pages of Yahoo! Well done, most likely the voices of their acquisition were well founded!

But what I want to emphasize is that the network 2.0 is fragile, at least for us ordinary bloggers. As of yesterday, in fact, there were problems with the rank BlogBabel I made. What has happened? The service is provided by undolog.com, which is located on a Web Server Dreamhost . Since yesterday, without sensible explanations of technical assistance, the site of BlogBabel ( http://it.blogbabel.com ) is no longer reachable by the servers Dreamhost !

I had, therefore, move files temporarily to another hosting service, especially on my other domain (http://www.e-lementi.com).

At first I thought it was a problem of libraries curl / php, those used to "capture" the rank of BlogBabel . But then - with the technical assistance Dreamhost - I realized that only BlogBabel was unreachable (and perhaps someone else), as if it had been "banned" from the Web Server Dreamhost . The exact same code, in fact, worked up until a few days ago and continues to run on the server HostingVirtuale - provider of domain I had to use rescue.

Moral of this horrific story is that as long as Dreamhost does not "unban" the connection to BlogBabel (and who knows how many other domains) I have to leave the services of HostingVirtuale ! But for those who use BlogBabel rank does not change anything! I "patched" everything and re-directed to HostingVirtuale , so quiet.

However, do not ever give you a service to anyone until I change Web Hosting! ;)

    Going a little 'OT ... why not change the background of the banner from red to green as also proposed by Gioxx?! That red is a bit 'a punch in the eye ... ;-)

    Another idea for the index of antipixel BlogBabel, might be (number of blogs / blog ranking). In my case the value would be 6775/1413 = 4.72, your 6775/605 = 11.19. This is to let the index in the white space dell'antipixel, once selected from the context menu ... but also information on 605 6775 or the indication of the total number of blogs it would be interesting.
