Server Downtime

Our host went out of business without any hint of notice, but everything is back online without any data loss.

That's a pain, man. It's happened to me before, and I didn't even have a recent backup of my server at the time.

Happened to me, once. Luckily, they gave me a long time to switch servers... unlike the bums who simply kicked their servers down and never told anyone in this case. >.

Has your new host got better servers (ie better processing power)?

It wasn't just the forums. VGF and SMBHQ were down as well, and probably some other website I don't go to.

So, just out of curiosity, what is your new host?
