Thanks to the efforts of Tim and the boys, my crappy website is back to normal. I have been with Evo since pretty much the start and this is a very rare occurrence. Last time was a HDD failure and we all got double space and bandwidth, even though it was down for a tiny amount of time.

I feel for the businesses that have been affected but knowing Tim (and reading some of the comments above) he would have stopped at nothing to get Vortex back up and running as fast as possible.

They have always helped me fast and effectively and I for one thank them for their efforts.

Thanks for all the hard work that has already been done and for the work that’s still to be done to resolve the issues

Hi All,

Thanks for all the kind words here, to answer a few questions I have seen here….

@ Carl: As far as I have seen so far we’ve seen no data loss, or at least, no reports of any. We’ve seen a couple of locked databases that have just required a repair from phpmyadmin and that is about it. Oh and also, no we didn’t use matchsticks, a mix of redbull, kfc and sugary rubbish kept us all going through the night

@ Paul: thanks for the kind words, although I doubt any of us will be awake enough by tonight to feel like going down the pub Yes we would have sent you a lava lamp at around Christmas if you signed up during that promotion - http://www.evohosting.co.uk/blog/index.php/2007/11/01/november07-specials/

Thanks again everyone

Well, all seems back up, but my ‘big’ upload from yesterday obviously wasn’t on the backup, so I need to upload it again! Wish me luck!

Thanks for keeping us up to date with exactly what’s going on guys. It takes a lot of the worry out of the situation. Good luck with the kernel update.
