http://www.liquidweb.com/support/<p>During the outage, their phone support was down, and they did not respond to a helpdesk ticket, and their live chat was unavailable. Heroic support this is decidedly <i>not</i>.<p>The closest thing to an update was a reply to my tweet (sent at the start of the downtime, thanks to Pingdom) 15 minutes into the downtime. The decided lack of an apology on their part leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Ugh.
<i>The decided lack of an apology on their part leaves a bad taste in my mouth.</i><p>To be fair, the apology might just be waiting until they've finished investigating and know exactly what they're apologizing for.
