AHHH! WEB HOSTING FOX!!!!

[juststeven]

Hello,

Anyone know what the hell is wrong with http://webhostingfox.com okay yeah they had a problem but it didn't involve their support forums, live chat and pretty much everything else to go down. My site doesn't even exist any more! I tried to get on it and it came up with google search. Can someone shed some light?

Thanks.

I think their server is down which their site is not hosted on

 

[juststeven]

Would that explain hosting accounts not been shown?

 

[khaleel]

What do you mean?

 

[juststeven]

My hosting account is gone.

 

[terryh]

Will we get our sites back?

 

[D]

i was going to purchase reseller hosting with them about half an hour ago and noticed the support forums were down so i decided not to bother haha

 

[juststeven]

Will we get our sites back?

Hopefully or I'm going to kick their arses xd

Most large hosting sites have the main website/forums etc.. on one server and hosting accounts on another. So if one goes down the other one doesn't and the other way around. Hopefully they have done a back up off-site and have your site backed up because its not your fault they lost your files. Just contact them.

It's more than just one of us.

Anyway this is their latest twitter message:
Hello Everyone. We apologize for the downtime and are trying to get everything back up and running. Thank you for your time

I've noticed this too, when will they fix the downtime?

 

[death180]

My site is also down and I am wondering the same as everyone else.

There was a reboot error that caused the server to crash. They should be back up soon.

Hey sorry guys. We we're having troubles on our provider so we moved to a backup VPS i had, and apparently the cPanel full server backups didn't get the MySQL's included so we are waiting for our provider to finish running cPanel backup with MySQL this time. The backups were a bit "old" so thats why we are having them send me updated ones, but atleast i got something back up.

Only big sites didn't have the SQL packages (Don't know why) but seems the small ones worked fine.

I'm waiting for Nathan to get online to update me about the MySQL's.

I at least got the latest backups i had on hand with me back online.

Once we get the newest ones on the old VPS, We will restore them. So if your going to make major change to your site, you may want to wait a few hours.

Since this backup VPS is now taken, backups will be stored on yet another off server backup location.

We will be buying a better server than this one coming Jan. or Dec. Most likely a Xen or Cloud.

(PS: If you are using A records change them to 46.4.239.49 and 46.4.239.50)

Update: We just got the full backup of every account. Since its 11.9 GB's tar'ed it's gonna take some time. instead of pausing the download process, it will be downloaded and uploaded to the server tommorow (Dec. 1st (well according to my TV it's dec 1st))

If you do need to contact us and the server is down, you can always email [email protected] (hosted off server)
Sorry about all this downtime this week, This new server should last this month till we move to a better one.

WOO!!! My accounts back up. Damn I thought I'd lost a month of hard work, he he!

I installed (or a friend did for me =P) the Ultimate Points mod and the mChat and alot of others that took all day for him - do we have to re-install them or will they come back over time?

No no, The two posts above. The backups i used was old. I am downloading the newest backups now, says about 3 hours, Shouldn't be that long.

1000 KB/s in Opera, about 2 hours left.

Alright about 20 minutes left of the download. We got one site up, Took a bit of time because they gave us the /home directory and /var/lib/ and not the real full cPanel backup. Now we now how to do it and it will be up very soon.

 

[juststeven]

Will we have to change anything to the configuration files of our forums?

 

[terryh]

It must be nearly done by now?

 

[juststeven]

They always say it's going to take less time than it does,
