    Default Server Outage

    Due to a power outage to the data centre we are hosted at , we unfortunately copped a long outage. Power was restored a long time ago but unfortunately something happened to us that has kept us offline for ages. I havent yet heard back from support as to what the problem was but at a guess I think our power supply might have gone bang.

    Anyway , getting them to fix the problem has been a pain as always and the time difference can mean night shift crews deal with it. Anyway , after a lot of abusive emails at them we are back online.

    Edit : I dunno how I got conned in doing tech support and maintenence.

    They havent provided any further explanantion so I can only presume that the power outage caused the issue. I would have thought that they would have an uninterruptable power supply in this day and age ( they are one of the top 20 providers of dedicated servers in the world ) , either they dont or it failed to work. They have sent notice that they are doing further work today on this issue with no downtime expected.
