Getting "Error 503 first byte timeout"

I think the keyphrase is mission critical.

Everyone wants and needs their website to be up and running

  • but (imo) most people don’t “really need” - “mission critical availability”.

I’ve got a client who screams up and down that she needs her website to up and running 26 / 8 / 375…

  • but when I send her an email… it takes her 2 weeks to respond.

From what I’ve seen…

  • I’ve been watching this thread with interest… and have cringed a couple times…

But historically… (again imo) Webflow’s uptime has been pretty decent

  • but since I self-host (and since I’m a linux admin to boot)…
  • Webflow’s server availability doesn’t affect me.

I only use the Designers. Beyond that…

  • I actually pay a server mgt company to cover my a$$ when I need help.

As for Rackspace… I used them several years ago. Then they sold out and service went downhill.

UK2 Group provides decent (base-bone) servers. All my servers (8 in total) are through them.

If you need a good server mgt company… I can recommend Platinum Server Mgt.

Been with them for probably 10 years.

(As stated above) I manage my own servers… but when needed - they always pulled through.

I use them primary for monthly server checks / hardening / general things like that.

It’s $39 a month - $19 each additional.

Thanks for sharing your opinion(s) Revolution. Lots of insight.

Issue resolved.
