Andrew has come through again, found the white page glitch. Bless you, Andrew!
Daniel has responded with an explanation for the server issues. I quote from the host:
Dear Daniel,
Today 01/10/2010 at 12:01 EST, a fault was detected within our datacenter, which required an immediate emergency maintenance on the network. This resulted in 25% of the servers in our datacenter to experience a brief loss of power and reboot themselves automatically. At approximately 14:36 EST the maintenance was fully complete.
We are now ready to complete the final phase of our facility's power expansion. This involves the integration of an additional 320 KVA UPS system to our facility's infrastructure, as well as updating the IOS on the distribution switch. This will fix an issue that has been causing intermittent issues with some clients noticing latency or sporadic packet loss.
We have scheduled this maintenance on Saturday, January 15, 2011, 2am to 4am EST (UTC-5). The integration will be completed within two hours. We will do everything in our power to expedite the maintenance. While this will most likely go un-noticed on your end, there may be 15-30 minutes of latency/downtime during the maintenance window while the IOS is updated. We do not expect this to happen, but we are well-prepared in case it does. We have scheduled a special standby response team that will take action as needed to minimize the impact of any problems that arise during this work.
We are grateful for your trust and understanding as we complete this critical step. We will advise you on Monday morning when the integration has been completed. We look forward to a great 2011 and beyond. Thank you for your patience.
Kind regards,
The Management Team
There's just a tiny matter left of getting the Admin Control Panel to obey my commands. Nothing you'll notice on the whole. Houston, we have liftoff!
