Server Offline From 9.30am To 4.50pm Today

[Detomah]

Firstly i'd like to apologise for the unexpected downtime of just over 7hrs today, this downtime was completely unscheduled and the reason for it is currently under scrutiny and investigation by TFs new hosts.

This is the 2nd time in 10 days this has happened and TFs hosts have informed me that should it happen again they will replace the entire server with a brand new one.

The system is being monitored by both TFs hosts and by me, but beyond that should the server die, there is actually very little I can do besides contact the hosts and get them to put it back online, which can take anything up to 24hrs, so to be back within around 7hrs is better than the average.

I am far happier with the level of service TFs hosts have provided on both occasions of downtime compared to previous hosts, they have acted far swifter and more efficiently to try and get the server back online than TFs previous hosts. Unfortunately when a server goes down there is nothing I can do from this end as I can't physically touch the server myself as it is tucked away in datacenter miles away from me.

Again, i'm sorry for the downtime and assure you that steps are being taken to try and prevent this from happening again.
