Giants fall too. It just happens sometimes

BlogUpp and Amazon For our service to be more reliable it's operated through Amazon Simple Storage Service. This aims to make the service available at any time and from anywhere. Unfortunately there happen outages with Amazon servers occasionally, which results in many web services, including BlogUpp!, not functioning. Such blackouts were noticed lately even with Google services, which tells that absolutely everyone is vulnerable. Obviously the problems get fixed shortly and the services become available again.

Herein we need to apologize to all our community bloggers for inconveniences and for them not being able to make use of BlogUpp! service during outages. The practice shows that Amazon servers might go down for at most several hours, during which we kindly ask everyone to be understanding. In this context we appreciate a lot all the reports that we receive from the community, that help us make sure where the issue is, and react promptly.

The good part is that Amazon is still one of the most reliable web players, with best uptime characteristics for their infrastructure. Hopefully it stays in the same position, and BlogUpp! will be available to you almost at any time, and almost from anywhere. Otherwise, we'll just have to change the partnership.

Dear BlogUpp!Team,

Just a suggestion, it might be a good idea for you to start a forum. That way, as more and more bloggers sign up, they can communicate and sharet their ideas better.

Your blog is good enough for now, but once you build enough momentum, a forum may be beneficial.

Any technical questions etc. can be posted there as well so that any newbie bloggers (like me) can search for it easily.

:)

Indeed, that is a good idea. We'll keep it in mind and consider making it available.
Thanks for the valuable recommendation.
