Not enough D: in the world at IJ...
...I think I just lost about 45% of posts to the RP comm I moderate thanks to this news:

http://twitter.com/insanejournal

My hosting company f-ed up .. They canceled the databases and are telling me I can't have them back. I have a copy of the db from about amonth ago. I will work on getting that one back up and running asap"


Anybody else just get seriously hosed? Thread for commisserations, complaints, pointing and laughing.

Edit #2 (as of about 8:45 AM PST): 
"It appears that I will be able to get the databases back,. I will update again soon when I know more"

There's...hope? *wince*

Edit the ARGHth: (10:35 AM PST) :
This may take awhile longer. They have the drives set aside but I have to order new servers. 

Well, CRAP. D: 

Edit the WHOOHOOth!: (9:02 AM PST Wed thx [info]ladybug218 and [info]nanthimus
Now that I have the orignal databases in my hands I can confirm that NO DATA HAS BEEN LOST!  

Edit the Relievedth: (10:13 AM PST) 
http://twitter.com/insanejournal/statuses/790451642

Site is back up but with new IP addresses; may take a few hours to propagate over the tubes. Note: some pages still give errors, particularly the login page which doesn't seem to be working right now.  If a page isn't immediately working for you, try refreshing.

*waves* GJ refugee, so this is the second time for my game. We considered hosting a small db for ourselves and decided against because it looked like too much trouble. Now we may very well do so.

I'm in another game that officially started April 5. I don't even know what's happening there.

The hosting company screwed up and turned off our database servers. They don't open for another 2 hours

*boggles* A hosting company that doesn't have support 24/7? W. T. F.

This is also why real sites keep incremental daily backups and weekly full backups offsite. Preferably multiple copies.

OK, based on a traceroute it looks like 1and1 is his host. They're pretty big, and I can't imagine them not having 24/7 support. WTF indeed.

At this point, I don't care if it takes him days to get everything fixed if he can get all the data back. The RPG I'm in has been really busy lately, and most of it has been stuff without comment notifications. All lost to the aether if he can't get them back. *cries*

I'm sorry, but I'm a web developer and I don't understand how this mess is happening.

Either InsaneJournal's host admin had a complete psychotic break, or Squeaky didn't pay the bills, but people don't just decide to take away your servers for nothing.

OMG. Thank goodness for Squeaky's Twitter.

Also, I am really glad that it's Squeaky in charge of this because I trust the man and like the frequent Twitter updates on what he's doing. Otherwise, I'd be freaking out about losing my new game, icons, etc. *dying of an RP fix atm*

As it is, I'm currently kind of, "...BUT MY ONLINE HOME! Well. Squeaky'll get the demolition team to back off. He's like Superman without the teen emo."

I say we set up an RP-randomly-until-IJ-returns post in [info]random_lounge. Who's with me? I have a Kuzco icon! I could be Kuzco!

I've had 3 hosts just decide to turn my sites off. No money owed, no over traffic, they just flipped the wrong switch. I'm sure the host just fucked up. Needles to say I moved hosts instantly.

This is why almost every time I make an update to any site I back the whole thing up.

I also keep a running text file of my RP threads so I don't lose anything.
