[disklavier] Re: Carol - your web site?

2011-02-17 by carolrpt

Thank you for your help.  The instructions say to not mess with Advances DNS records but somehow I did anyway.  I changed the mail server to Google a few years ago and tonight I just pushed the default setting on the Yahoo webhosting plan.  No more Dreamhost servers.  Hopefully this will solve the problem.

I have always felt it was not a good idea to have all your eggs in one basket so I maintain two webhosting accounts on different servers.  So much has changed over the years.  The yahoo webhosting is, or was and probably still is, Windows based.  The Dreamhost is Apache based.  Each company has offered different features over the years and learning to keep up with all that is available has been very challenging.

Let me know if things get all messed up again and thanks again for your help!

Carol
