by NathanDead hard drives and downtime
Sorry for the downtime today, the hard drive in our web server died. That server always was flaky, it would totally lock up every 2-3 weeks and require a hard reboot. An iffy hard drive could have been the reason for that flakiness, but it’s hard to say when you don’t physically have the machine in front of you.
Our hosting company took about 3 hours (grrr…) to get a new hard drive in. After that, Doug worked like mad to restore everything. Our database server was fine so we didn’t have to restore backups.
Thanks to Doug for a heroic Saturday afternoon save, and thanks to everyone for your patience.

Glad you’re back.
I’ve definitely become addicted, or shall i say, i browse the web with Newshutch. So when you were down, i actually didn’t and couldn’t visit any site i regularly visit, just for the fact that I’m used to browse them with Newhutch.
Thanks for the great service.

Small price to pay for such a great app. Keep up the good work.

Good to hear you’re back up. Have you found a new host yet? I’m assuming you’ll be going for RAID the next time around …

Seems the service is down. I’m not able to browse Newshutch (Server 500 error). In fact, it’s almost become regular. Everyday there seems to be a breakdown.
I’m in India

Hi Nazim.k,
We were having a problem with our backup process but it has been fixed now. If you’re still having problems please let us know.
