Within the past month, my WordPress site has stopped sending me emails telling me there are pending comments, or at least I’ve stopped receiving them. This will mean longer delays before I notice a comment and approve it (or, in rare cases, reject it). HostGator keeps getting worse. Sorry.
Note on mcgath.com
Update: mcgath.com is now hosted by Dreamhost and is working.
I just learned that the SSL certificate on my companion website, mcgath.com, is broken. The problem is with HostGator, which messed it up just a few months ago and then allegedly fixed it. It’s time for me to migrate to a competent hosting company. Unfortunately, due to other stuff I’m dealing with, this will take a couple of weeks.
It should be reasonably safe to click through any warnings, since the site serves only static content and it’s unlikely to be worth anyone’s while to set up a man-in-the-middle attack. Use common sense if you see anything suspicious, naturally.
