Hi,

The hosting company that I lease from was acquired and part of the acquisition was a physical move of all servers from Philly to Atlanta. Should have been a routine transfer of around 10 hours. (I did not get notification though, just that a maintenance operation would occur).

Something went wrong though, and the server was down for 40 hours. about 12 of those where waiting for the database storage (i.e. server was up but no data)..

Waiting for an explanation from the company. Quite unacceptable
