Blah blah blah, Joe Lieberman’s web site went down. Lieberman said it was a DoS attack. Maybe it was something else. The quick Daily Kos response was that it was due to cheap hosting.

Now, that response makes no sense. On the one hand, Kos says the server was overcrowded. But MeetNed.com, which Kos says was hosted on the same servers, was up. So OK, not an overcrowded server. The hosting provider's own site is down. Obviously some kind of technical screw up, probably not a DoS attack, but the blithe snarky "this could be fixed in an hour by a competent sysadmin" crap... nah. Kos doesn't know what's going on and there's no obvious explanation.

Meanwhile, Jamie at Firedoglake goes nuts with glee when he finds out Lieberman moved his site to GoDaddy. Which, OK, is kinda funny considering Lieberman's got the whole anti-smut thing going, but...

"When I was hosted with GoDaddy, it cost me $3.99 a month and is still that price today."

Dedicated servers starting at $87.18 a month and going up from there. I mean... do some research.
