As many of you know the site was down this weekend due to a fire at the data center that hosts our database server.

Check out http://service-update.theplanet.com for details on what happened.

Thankfully our servers were fine and they have just now powered up the servers. I am making emergency backups so if we go down again it should only take me 10-20 minutes to get us back online with another database server.

I have ordered a new database server. I'm ditching the one in that data center as I'm sure we'll see a lot of down time as they continue to fix their infrastructure.

My deepest apologies to everybody. Even though I had a disaster recovery plan in place it was not fool proof and one confusing remark from a tech at the ISP I had a few months ago led to us having no back up for the database that I could reach. This will not happen again!

A BIG thank you to all of you for your continued support. I didn't receive one email bitching about the site being down and that truly means a great deal to me and the team.

I will be working to add 7 days extension to all Gold Memberships later today.
