Good to see things back to normal.

Will be interesting to see if they honor their pledge of 1 day free hosting for every 15 minutes down.
96 free days for every 24 hours should give Dave a year or more free server hosting.

So they took longer to get back up and running than my email/management server box which was in another part of the datacenter and another subnet (it's a different type of box, single xeon instead of dual xeon).
Given that they set us up on a new box (and presumably just pulling the old drives), it's likely the old boxes were either water damaged, or it was simply easier to give us a new box until such time as the old boxes can be evaluated properly.

Are you going to make sure the "backup" will now be in another room or at least several racks away? (I think it was mentioned somewhere that there's enough bandwidth required for real time syncing that putting it in a separate building is not feasible.)

I think I recall seeing a 30day cap.

Super glad to see things back up.  Sick today, needed a happy reading escape :)
