- smcl 14y agoYep, same for me. Delicious irony in my opinion

- kami8845 14y agoIf a company is actually stupid enough to say "If I was your cloud provider, I'd never let you down" then I immediately lose all interest in working with that company. Childish and they obviously have no appreciation for how hard it is to properly run a hosting company.
- rplnt 14y agoThey don't want reddit's business. They know it's not real. But they also know reddit's general user wants reddit to be have better uptime. And that the user will upvote a story offering that (with cats at that). This is just a PR stunt to gain some customers. Simple, but apparently working (even here on HN, which is quite sad).
- benologist 14y agoI'm pretty sure they have a decent idea of what's involved running a hosting company being as how they're a huge hosting company. I think what they've done is great, they're appealing to the users by showing they are users and they'll probably get a crapload of traffic because of it whether they land Reddit or not. It's already landed them the #1 slot on HN, a site where AWS staff post AWS updates!
- Jare 14y agoIn the professional tech world, not ALL exposure is good exposure. With this post they look like immature kids, and then when their post and entire site goes down, they look incompetent in front of the very people they want to convince. An informative post explaining the hardships of uptime and reliability in simple words, and how they do their best to keep adding 9's, would have been so much better.

- Jare 14y agoExactly, they should have done more of that.
- batgaijin 14y agoUh, no, this is how about switching to the main supporters of node.js would immediately remove a problem that the #1 vps provider can't handle.
- Tim-Boss 14y agoApparently they're having some SSL issues, try disabling "https everywhere" or any other similar browser addons I presume you're running!

- Tim-Boss 14y agoAll I know is I get a time-out when connecting to joyent with https-everywhere running, and a normal webpage when it's disabled!

- fredsted 14y agoIt's joyent, not joylent.

- netnichols 14y agoDown for me too. Rather embarrassing if I do say so.
- Tim-Boss 14y agoTry disabling https-everywhere for joyent.com. Worked for me!
