OMG…this could be trouble!
So, the hosting service says that they’ve found “several” disk errors on our dedicated server hard drive….this is really bad timing for the entire server to get burnt…I’m hoping they at least did a backup last night or something so we don’t lose a ton of data.. but until they get the hard drive up and running, they say they can’t even extract the data which to me seems utterly preposterous!!!!!!
We even asked them if they could temporarily put it on another server, just to get it back up and running and their reasoning is that they have to get on the HD anyways in order to extract the data… and i’m thinking to myself “ARROOOO…are you saying that our backups are done on the same STINKIN’ server????” UNREAL!!!!
we’re hoping we’re back up by tonight but as of right now, we’re looking for a new hosting company since they must have known about these disk errors due to the site going down periodically in the last 10 days…i mean, there HAS to be a reason for everything!!
absolutely unreal…we have had problems with this company around the same time every year and unfortunately, during the holidays, most of the good guru’s are OUT.. so that leaves us “screwed” literally….
There is nothing we can do at this point but sit here and wait….wait…and wait some more…till we get more info…
this SUCKS! 
the sad thing is, i dunno if it sucks worse than last year or not cuz we had a horrid time getting on the new server last year and it seems to me this is just as sucky as that.. only that might have been suckier…who knows!!!!
