    I am having some sites of mine hosted with urlhost.
    Seems the servers are down since yesterday.
    All sites on their host plus even their own site.
    Does anybody have any kind of information about this?

    I am in the same situation and I have some serious problems about this.

    If someone knows a way to reach them it will be good.

    I use them too, along with another guy who I know.

    I hope they go back online because this is nuts. They have been down for a long time.

    You gotta be kidding me.

    They were not not bad for the years I've been rolling with them.

    Sorry to hear about that, did you guys try emailing? That WHOIS search brings up the domains personal information, so when you called is house is maybe why you heard Spanish; since you called his personal phone.

    Check your PMs, for some information. :)

    Damn, They didn't have a record of E-mails and didn't mass everyone about what's up.

    This is costing me a lot. I hope they get it together soon.

    Problem solved today for me.
    They contacted me the next day after I noticed they have been down.
    They had problems with spammers.
    Hopefully they had kept all backups and my sites are fully functional again.
    I have read some things about this company in this thread. I just want to say that they seem to be proffessionals that just got into a bad situation.
    I didn't like this but I am satisfied by the way they handled it.
    At least with the responses I got.
    Anyway I am back in business, and I am sure going to backup my sites more often after this.

    This is a great example of why it's a bad idea for the host to have their site on the same server as customers. When something bad happens there is no way for customers to contact them. Maybe urlhost can learn from this and put their own site somewhere else.
