bthouse Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Anyone having trouble with their DIYestores website this morning? I cant even bring up their website.I do notice that also sometimes its very slow when loading my website. Anyone else have this problem. Never sure if its the website or just my computer !Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartAddict Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Nope, they're down. I cannot even check my email. Very frustrating. Hope it's back up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I left them for that reason. I loved their features, especially the reusable dropdown feaature, but the down time and slow time was unbearable, especially before the holidays last year. They offered every excuse under the sun while failing to consider a possible fix from their end. I moved my site to Designer 218 and couldn't be happier. No down time, no slow time. I have two sites with 218 and highly recommend 218 for anyone thinking of moving or starting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura9259 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm glad you posted this - I just switched over to DIY but I cannot stand downtime or no way to communicate with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 It looks like they aren't the only ones that are down. My host is also down too. I did a quick search for other sites that were hosted w/my host and their sites are down.Sliver do you have a link for your host? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura, I saw your post the other day about needing reusable dropdowns. 218 doesn't have that feature that I know of, but a simple copy/paste will do the trick.

Holly Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have noticed that my website speed has been much better in the last few months with DIY -- maybe they did something to fix that. Although, I did notice that they were down more often then I like, but seemed to get better until today - which has been down WAY TOO long. They used to be just short moments, but not today. I am glad though that the speed has been really good for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
