Well it went down for more than a few hours.

This was not my planned maintenance (which occurred around 7:40 PM EST) but rather an unplanned server part failure.

For those of you reading this:

The RAID controller on the server (it runs in RAID-1 for redundancy) broke. The host has contacted a vendor and is waiting to receive the part (which they do not keep on hand, understandable) so they can put the server back up.

I very much apologize for this, as it is quite unusual to have servers go down like this (broken parts don’t really happen that much) for these periods of time. Current down-time is approximately 12 hours. I would hope by the end of today they’ll be back up and running.

Rest assured that this is, dare I say, the best hosting company on the internet, A Small Orange (www.asmallorange.com). So, while I’m disappointed that it’s down, there’s not much I can do.

If you can view this (I’ll post this on the site later for bookmarking), here’s the server status:
