I wish it were something as simple as botched DNS.  (Although how a webinaminute.com page is coming up, i have NO clue.)

Yesterday, a dedicated server provider that I had 5 servers with went unexpectedly belly-up.  You can read the latest at http://www.acornhosting.net (if it is resolving to the new IP) or http://209.223.101.213 if it isn't.  It's shaping up into a pretty sordid tale, where this guy apparently decided that since the credit card company that does his billing hadn't released his money this month, he'd just silently go out of business?  Unbelievable.  I've had servers with this company for 1 1/2 years.

I had just enough warning that something *might* be amiss for a few hours of frantic rsyncing.  I did not get everyone.

Joel, I'm checking on your email right now.  ns1.acornhosting.net was on one of these servers.

Claudio, I think we had a routing issue and/or excessive firewalling.  The mailserver that had the problem is no more (it was with this provider), please email me again.  Your second vserver is ok, your first is not.  Let's discuss via email, if possible.

cathy -at- acornhosting.net is waiting on DNS, so use cathy -at- acorn2.acornhosting.net.
