What's Happening?

No word from skiplink today, They are being very unprofessional and this is pissing me off. I will be moving the servers ASAP once i get them back up at skiplink so that i can move the date.

Right now it looks like i'm going to move to Amazon EC2. this looks to be the best solution and should in theory actually reduce my costs monthly by a couple hundred dollars. and if i can later set it up to start and kill servers at peak times i should be able to save a little more again.

All this aside I have definitely learned the use of off-site backups. once the servers are moved I will be adding in some backup scripts to send the backups around the world. I'll have some stats of what I would need for backups later and ask around to see if anyone would be willing to host backups.

I got a few text messages from the owner FINALLY.. seems the hardware failure for the building was unrelated. skiplink apparently had a disagreement with someone over something and therefor my boxes are offline. they will be moving the boxes to a new location hopefully tomorrow. needless to say I am not impressed, and I will be moving to a new host ASAP. (right now I'm thinking about EC2)

No news yet, still no word from skiplink, and only some 2nd hand knowledge from inside the building. I have to head out for the night, if anyone has some important info, email me i'll have my phone with me.'

Update: well a guy who knows a guy has informed me that the entire building is down. (thanks Jeff) No real specifics on why, but everything is down and I'm waiting to hear back with more information. at least i can be relatively sure the data is safe, just unaccessible.

when the server went down at first I dident think anything was wrong with the site. I attempted to call Skiplink (my server provider) to find out if anything was wrong. They dident answer, but it was 1 AM, so i left it for the time being.

The next day In the morning the server still was not up, so I gave them another call, they did not answer. It was at this point I noticed that my 2nd server (same company, different carrier, different physical rack) was also not up. And I this is where i start panicking... the 2nd server was the backups for the first.

I have emailed, txt'd, phoned (5 different numbers) and I have yet to get ahold of anyone. If anyone knows anyone that works at http://www.56marietta.com, this is the building where the servers are housed.. could you get them to find out if anything is going on there and shoot me an email. I would REALLY appreciate it.

I'll go freak out on my own now and update this page whenever I find out anything new.

P.S. come back for updates if i have any.
