One of my sites has been down for way to long and my host sent this: At first, a network problem appeared, then the box experienced a few faults which basically brought it offline. It was eventually pulled to protect the server. My question is, what is the box that is in the server. -- D? http://wipkip.biz I recommend http://hostingforabuck.com/ >> Stay informed about: Servers and boxes

For the life of me I'll never understand why it is that you have to go through 5 employees to find 1 keeper! I know the server you're talking about. No excuses...but... I had to run to my Aunt's home last Friday, the 28th. She's got Alzheimer's, left a candle burning and I just got back 1/2 hour ago. Nuff said. The 31st of Jan..we got this Root Notice... Seems someone from ThePlanet went into it, who knows why... yet... ALERT - Root Shell Access (mis.your-dns-servers.net) on: Mon Jan 31 12:47:53 PST 2005 root pts/0 Jan 31 12:47 (admin.theplanet.com) 5 minutes later..the server went south for the winter migration. Thank God we've only got a few there. My Admin, and Support Staff have been battling with them for two days now to get the freakin thing back on track only to find out they, somehow, still don't know how, trashed the thing and tore up the kernel so it wouldn't even boot. Seems my Admin's been crying/begging/threatening..etc..anything to get it remounted to another of ours so they could setup and restore data..but I guess they got the typical...send a ticket...wait a half day...get not much back much less ETA. Seems they also didn't want to get me involved to not have me worry while I deal with family issues. Like I said, I got back about 30 minutes ago. 20 minutes ago, I've got 2 open Support Tech positions and 1 open Admin slot also...In addition to the open Webmaster slot I created last week. 10 minutes ago, I got the freakin thing remounted. Take 2 guesses what I'm doing along with two day staffers who're staying late Watch how long it takes me what it's taken a few lackys two days to get nowhere. Let's see... rsync -vrplogDtH /all-old/stuff /all-new/stuff /credit /whole bunch-of-free-months /destroy /the-planet Hmm...Is the planet ThePlanet is...

I've tried to decipher what he was saying...the only thing I can think of is that they were saying they were having a network issue which was eventually traced back to that one server. That one server/box was pulled off the network to protect the network. In that scenerio, it wouldn't be a server "fault" causing that kind of an issue...more likely a DoS attack. --Tina -- <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.AffordableHOST.com" target="_blank">http://www.AffordableHOST.com</a> - Multi-Domain & Reseller Cpanel Hosting <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.AxisHost.com" target="_blank">http://www.AxisHost.com</a> - High bandwidth Cpanel Hosting ++ 20% Discount Coupon Code ++: newsgroup Serving the web since 1997<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Servers and boxes

We are now busy restoring domains now and will follow up with full disclosure so it won't happen again and the steps being taken. The short of it, one of our Network providers almost toasted the server you're on. Due to our Admin being on top of things, we were able to save the data and are now redoing it all.

I feel your pain and I sympathize. I think mine are finally keepers...but its taken a long while to get there.
