and from a chat with support... http://forums.theplanet.com/index.php?showtopic=90185 Any one else have their server(s) down cause of this?!!! grrrr!!!!
DARN! 9000 Servers is a big amount :| I believe hostgator's servers are affected by this , Hostgator gets all of their servers from TP
I'm a bit peeved about this. I have a dedicated server with them that's currently being affected by this.
this is brutal! Hostgator affected http://forums.hostgator.com/showthread.php?t=33498 And a reseller I use from FL 2 hosts affected - not good for $$$$$$$ Not good. Any recommend a good reseller? (luckily I have a reseller not affected, but always on lookout for something good!)
They're reporting http://newsblaze.com/story/20080531221432nnnn.nb/newsblaze/TOPSTORY/Top-Stories.html
That really sucks, but of course, it isn't a reason to leave the host, because it can happen to any datacenter! Best of luck to you guys who are affected, hopefully it gets resolved as soon as they except !!
I was on TP and got a little scare with Hurricane Rita. The reseller I was using was unreliable so I bailed. I really don'y know if it was the fault of TP or reseller. But it pays to have a back up plan.
My advertising provider, ASE Adnet, is down, and so is entrecard. And so is Site Meter. So I have no ads right now and no tracking. Not mad though as this was an unforeseeable event.
My server has been in this datacenter since 2001 and this is the first time I've ever seen something like this happen. I was one of da first users there, way back in the day where some one had to drive to the datacenter just to do requests to re-boot servers, so servers were down for hours!!
The most important thing is no one is injured, equipment can still be replaced. Hope everything is ok for them.
Nintendo also forgot to mention that this happened in the middle of him sending out 50,000 emails! He blew up the transformer, lol jk.
