I just discovered the downside of OpenID. More specifically hosting your own OpenID username. I discussed previously about using your own url as an OpenID username ... and it has been working beautifully until today. I have my benwyrosdick.com hosted on a shared hosting service and today they are experiencing technical difficulties and I can’t get to my site. That’s normally not a huge problem for me … but now if it’s down then the sites I log into can’t verify me and I am effectively locked out. Still not a big enough reason for me not to use OpenID … just maybe now I will consider moving it to one of my VPS slices since they acts a lot more reliably.

Well the time on shared hosting is over. My dreamhost account officially expires June 3rd and I am frantically trying to get all of my stuff off of the server before I get sucked into paying for anymore because I didn’t get it off in time. We are officially moving all of our applications to slicehost. They have provided us with great service so far … lets hope they keep that up ;)
