One of our many server providers, saidhost has gone under without any prior warning. We quite literally got a message the server was down from our server monitoring people so we attempted to login to the server but it was inaccessible. We then tried to file a ticket and contact the company but their website had disappeared. Their phone had also been disconnected. A quick google search revealed the true story.

The company had gone bankrupt, but instead of warning its customers and allowing them time to move data and handle migrations, they had simply gone under, even taking our payment for December’s services.

Fortunately because we take daily backups, we were able to restore all of our clients data and migrate them to another server. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

For a more conversation and discussion, and incidentally where I found out about this initially check this thread out http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=732244
