Gmail Is Down: Another Gmail Outage
When google mail is operable the benefits are countless. I have several Gmail accounts that I use daily, some of which are used as the main emails for my domaining business. At this time Google Mail is down and a 502 Server Error is presented when I try to log into my account.
I have confirmed this issue with a few of my business associates who also use Gmail as there email lifeline. It is days like this that make me think about a redundant solution, Google Mail is obviously not bullet proof. Although I am sure I will still receive the emails which were sent to me during this outage, the urgency of some of these emails could pose a problem for me.
As a domainer / small business owner my clients mean everything to me and a slight delay in servicing them properly could lead to bigger issues. Its days like this that reiterate the importance of redundancy. I will now have to develop a plan to make sure issues like this do not arise in the future. Although google’s servers are out of my control, maybe this is a calling for me to setup an in-house hosted solution.
