For those frustrated with Homeport outages (as we have another one now), I'm making the decision to start migrating critical services (CONGO hosting and IRC) to a Linode.
I'll still cooperate and put in my 2 zorkmids, but managing my own servers is getting far more work than is worth it anymore. I may have a physical failure going on now - I really am not looking forward to finding a new power supply.
I just created a linode host out on the net that is up, running, pinging, and ready to have my apps installed on it - in 8 minutes - cost for that host? $19 a month.

It's hard to argue with that. :(
