Are you able to reach this site?

I’ve had a few visitors complain about not being able to access my site the past few days. Hell … I’m even experiencing it myself.

So I fired up an email to support which went something like this. (I must admit I was lazy to go into details)

Yo,

Fix the damn server …

and here’s the reply I got.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for contacting ****. I’ve checked the server countless times and it’s working fine. I even made sure that the cat did not trip over the leased line. May I ask what’s wrong? BTW, we’re having problems with our data centre. You may experience frequent downtime when accessing our servers. Go grab a bag of popcorn and chill for a while.

So there you have it … it’s “the” data centre.

    “I’ve had a few visitors complain about not being able to access my site”

    If they can’t access the site are they still called ‘visitors’?

    Web Drifter: Are you still a visitor if a shop is closed? Yes No?
