Maybe Oxwall needs a new host? | Forum

Two days in a row now Oxwall.org website has been very slow or down entirely for several hours.  Epic fail by cloudflare in my opinon (IMO) as i got the cloudflare page that says this site is down.  And under that it says what is cloudflare - cloudflare keeps your site online by cacheing pages lol, epic fail IMO.   Whats the difference between getting a 404 or other special page and getting the cloudflare page that says the site is down.  The difference is that you pay for cloudflare service (if not on their minimal free plan)

 

I say the site is down because first there has not been any notification as to the site being down for maintenance and the cloudflare page keeps comming up for hours.   So my best guess is that it was not a planned or organized event.  

 

So seems to me that maybe Oxwall possibly needs a new hosting company should this continue further.
