Ramblings of a .NET developer

Not a good way to inspire confidence...

I recently bought a new Dell PowerEdge 1750 and yesterday I finally dropped it off at a data center for colocation.  Now, after having it hosted there for not even 24 hours, I have been unable to connect to the machine for 4 hours now.  I lost connectivity with it as I was on it, and I was just configuring which folders it should filter my spam to.  So is my confidence in this data center very high at this point?  I think not.

Why? You give no indication this is NOT an issue with your configuration. I mean, servers ARE known to go down, you know. Maybe you just shut it down by accident?

I shut my own server down by accident? Ok.

How do I know it is not something I did? Because they acknowledged it was on their end.

In their defense, it was a random issue that could happen at any time. It only took so long to get fixed because it was a Sunday, no one was in, and it is the holidays, so nobody got the notifications right away.
