WordPress.org Is Down?

I got up early this morning to check up on any responses regarding the submission of my first plugin on WordPress.org last night at midnight. Does anyone know if they are having problems with their web hosting? Are they transferring their domain names to different servers? Could it just be unreachable from this side of the pond?

I recently migrated one of my blogs from Blogger, along with all my comments from Haloscan, to WordPress 2.0. It took me a couple of days of research before finally understanding what was needed to accomplish this. Once everything was already in place, it only took a few minutes to move everything across.

WordPress itself is extremely easy to install. If you don’t believe me, have a look at their Famous 5-Minute Install page.

1&1 vs GoDaddy

I came across a very very short (only two paragraphs) review on 1&1 (or 1and1) web hosting while I was checking out the Acronym Replacer plugin for Wordpress.

The first time I came across 1&1 was a few years back (circa 2000-2003) when one of their flyers fell off a computer magazine I was reading. At the time, I had a website hosted on SupaNames (which I just had moved over from GetDotted). Prior to those two web host providers, I was using various free web hosts at the time such as Geocities, FortuneCity, Tripod, etc.

After 2 minutes of browsing through their website, I found two things that immediately put me off:
