The Millennial Star

Admin: Down Time and New Server

We’re back! For those of you who do not know, last Friday (the 13th no less!) our previous hosting service banned us off of their system. According to them our site was crashing the shared server. We had no advanced warning and no access to our files or databases.

After trying in vain to convince them that the ban was based upon a misunderstanding–I wont go into details–the hosting service did agree to send us a backup of our files and databases. We received the data Saturday afternoon. We purchased a new hosting package from a different provider Saturday night and restored all of our files and databases to the new server. But the MillennialStar.org domain name did not resolve to the new host until this morning.

All of our posts and all of your comments have been restored. We have been testing to make sure that the move has not caused any unexpected bugs. We think that it is in working order. However, if you do run into a bug, please report it here or by emailing administrator at millennialstar dot org.

In the future, if the M* is unavailable for some reason you can check our backup blog at http://millennialstar.blogspot.org for information about what is happening.
