I'm furious now, at our current webhost.
We just got an hour of downtime before I told the server to 'reboot', then it was another 15 minutes before we were back in business.

From now on, if happen to be around, and I find the site to be unresponsive for at least 5 minutes at a time, we're probably already into a rut which would last much longer if we gave it the chance, so I'm simply going to reboot - even if that reboot takes another 15 minutes. It's better to be down for 20 minutes instead of 60+.

Since reboots get logged (because they're a Big Fucking Deal in the webhosting business), it ought to speak louder than my words. I'm not rebooting just because I can. Until we get moved to a different server (or something), I'm trying to do whatever will result in the least amount of downtime, if we have to experience anymore of it at all.
