WhoNews has switched web hosts and is back up and running.

A huge thank you to Storm Internet for making the transition so smooth and providing excellent support.

Sorry for the intermittent services during this period.

I’ve worked out a way to force a manual refresh of the WhoNews feed. The updates will not be as regular as the normal service until the full service is restored however it does mean WhoNews will receive updates on a regular basis.

Thank you for your support and understanding during this period.

I’m sorry to say the WhoNews feed is still down. The web host responded once today and with nothing useful.

Consequently I have to taken immediate steps to move the WhoNews feed to another web hosting provider in the hope of restoring the feed with in the next couple of days. The account should be activated tomorrow at which point I will begin moving the WhoNews services across to the new host and begin the domain transfer.

I’ve always prided myself on the reliability and timeliness of the WhoNews feed and have unfortunately been badly let down.

Rest assured I am doing all I can to restore the service as quickly as possible.

There is still an issue with the ISP hosting WhoNews which is preventing the generation of the news feed.

Please accept my apologies for no WhoNews feed update since Saturday morning, I have contacted the ISP and I am STILL waiting for a response. They are currently not answering their phones during the weekend period or responding to ticket support.

I will be looking to move to another Web Hosting provider.

I will keep you informed of progress on this page.

Not often WhoNews actually reports a direct news item but for a limited time the iPhone/iPad app Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time is free...

The new WhoNews services for blogs and podcasts are now live and checking blogs at a frequency of 15 minutes and podcasts every 1 hour.

This is a call to all content providers and users to suggest sites, podcasts and blogs that I might have missed. You can check whose is currently monitored on the Sites page

The currently released version of WhoNews uses the list of sites under the News category, which includes podcasts and blogs. However when v2.0 is released podcasts and blogs will move to the appropriate categories. There are duplicate entries between the lists and this is intentional.

Please send all suggestions and recommendations to appsupport@moonboom.com

Thanks for all your support and help.
