CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

It's been down since some time yesterday morning/afternoon, but I contacted Nicole (D2M) about it last night and she said she'd look into it today. Will post here with updates; sorry to those of you who haven't been able to get in either.

Yeah, the servers are down for Anime Angels, my personal site (flying-dreams.com) and the webhost's page (hostyard.com). I'm sure they're working to get them back up, as they have hundreds of customers that are probably ticked.

I know it's annoying, but still, one day every four months or so isn't too bad...I'd be surprised if it's not back up by tonight, would guess Wednesday at the latest, I've never seen it take longer than that.

Ah, so that's what happened.

The server's hosting page just came back up, so the rest shouldn't be too far behind. I'll update here as I know more.

Yikes, I hope it gets all straightened up soon. It's pretty frustrating when stuff like that happens but it's just going to make people appreciate AA all the more, right?

Ok, just got this email from the host:

Dear Client,

We are in the process of moving the server that hosts your domain(s) to a new facility.

All servers should be up again within the next 24 to 48 hours.

We do apologize that we were unable to give you prior notice.

So, there ya go...hopefully tonight, if not, like I said, by Wednesday.

Whoa, Keely, where'd the new avatar come from?

The stork brought it, of course, silly head!

On topic, I hope everything gets worked out. I can't stand it when either CAA or AA goes down. *Shakes fist at nasty server problems*

Lol, just added it, figured that old picture of me was outdated by over 3 years, so there's a newer one. And yeah, I hate it being down too...just when we were getting moving again!!

Ah... thanks for updating, Keely. ^_^ I've been at work all day and just now got D2M's forward about it.

Oh, alright. I had wondered what happened. Now I know! ^^

Awww, sorry.... I've noticed alot of sites going down lateley.... stupid internet!

Another reply from the host:

Dear Client,

The servers should be up again sometime Friday.

Thank you and sorry for the delay.

*sigh* sorry again guys, not much we can do though! My personal pages are down right now as well and I'm going stir crazy!!!!

*sigh* Well, it's been more than a week now and we're still down. Have you heard any news from the front, Keely?

Yeah, they told me, get this "The server move is not going according to plan"

Reaaaally? Never woulda guessed!!! ;P

So yeah, they promised promised PROMISED by the end of this weekend. If it's not up by then - well, they'll have a LOT of angry ppl on their hands, it's not just OUR pages that are down!!

Ok, latest update:

What seems to have happened is that the host was moving their servers, but after they were moved they were denied access to them! I'm not sure of the reason, but they're setting everything up on temporary servers and all we should have to do now is wait for the DNS to propogate, which should be a few days.

Post here is you can see the site come back up, it depends on your ISP as to when you'll see it up.

Do you have the IP address? People can hard-code that in their DNS tables or host files like we did when CAA had its DNS bumps.

EDIT: As of right now, it is not resolving for me (West Coast).

Yay! I'm finally getting something other than a 404! (For some reason it's just a root directory listing, but it's progress. )

Yeah, my assumption is that they're slowly putting all of the sites back online...my personal domain's directory showed up like about 6 hours later. Now I guess we're just waiting for them to re-upload all of their back-ups *crosses fingers* Hopefully soon!!

*Is staring intently at the screen* Man...It better be soon. I'm going crazy waiting for it! o.OThanks for the update, Keely!

nan da?? Animeangels is finally working?? O_O ahhh I cnan finally see the wonderful site for the first time ever! yay!

Hmm -- all of a sudden it's not resolving anymore.

*sigh* I'm getting so frustrated with this....hoping for an update soon!!

Ok, JUST got an email from the host, they are going to start restoring databases and files today...hopefully that means only a week or so... MAN, this is so rough..

Are they going to cover any of the downtime, as in refunds?

oh good! Thats a relief! I was scared that Anime Angels had shut down. XD I visit there once in a while, and every time I happen to go there's something going on, like an Admin is leaving or ... something. SO I had gotten scared. XD LOL silly me.

how do I delete all these repeats?

Yeah, they're going to be giving reimbursement. I've been told our files should be up in three days...so I'd assume something more like a week! But cross your fingers!
