Website downtime today

[xrchz]

Your website pcspecialist.co.uk was down for at least 6 hours just now.
I'm curious about the cause.
Glad it's back though

Hi Guys,
The reason was our hosting server was upgraded last night. It took longer than planned because a couple fo the raid discs failed and they had to rebuild them. Old server was getting maxed out on processor power at peak times so an upgrade was needed.

We have our upgrade??? I presumed it was that, but didnt want to say incase it was just regular downtime!

Hoorah Glad to be rolling again

Yep - CPU power quadrupled

Does this mean....folding@home boiz! We can only dream.

Our server is located in a datacentre in London, and is dedicated to our website, so no folding unfortunately

Hehe, what about a hefty bribe?
