There was an electrical fire (explosion) in The Planet's Houston 1 Data Center. Currently they are working on restoring power, but until then we wait :eek:

I have not spoken with Tim or Phil, but I assume their server was located in the same Data Center, about 9,000 servers are offline. They do not know when the will have power back, but there are rumors of Monday by 5pm.

For those who wonder.
Faulty Transformer Blamed
A fire at The Planet's H1 data center in Houston, Texas on Saturday has taken out thousands of websites.

In messages posted on the web hosting firm's forum, the company blamed a faulty transformer for the fire. No servers or networking equipment were damaged, but the data centre remains without power, after The Planet shut down all generators "as instructed by the fire department.

About 9,000 servers and 7,500 customers are affected by the outage.

Good luck with that, Wayne. I get a short vacation from hunting spammers! LOL
