Yesterday a there was an electrical shortage that caused an explosion caused serious damage to ThePlanets datacenter in Huston. The explosion was so powerful it knocked down 3 walls. As a result more than 9000 servers are affected, one of them being my own Dedicated server that I have thought HostGator. As a result my Traffic Exchange 247TrafficPro.com is down. While Hostgator has promised give one month hosting for free. Not that it matters for me. The damage this does to the site is far worse, and unfortunately the whole situation is out of our hands.
On a positive note. I got my PS (Private Server) up and running on Dreamhost now. Yes, I know I posted earlier I would not be doing the PS as I had to move one of my sites because of other limitations at Dreamhost. However, my Dreamhost account was under heavily load as the other sites kept growing and I had no choice. Unlike other hosting companies Dreamhost contacted me with detailed stats on my load etc and advised me to take actions. I did and everything is now ok. I even got the personal contact details of one of the support representatives.
Dreamhost continues to be my favorite hosting provider.
