Yes, Wes - I've had the same thing. Emails not accessible, random server outages
As well as a shared account, with a dedicated IP, I also have a Linux
VPS Hosting. Thankfully, my main client's stuff is on the
VPS Hosting and that is marginally more stable.
It doesn't look good when emails that clients send get bounced.
The outage time this year seems far worse than last.
