Hey..... calm down. I am with netstartz and they have had tins of downtime, but it takes awhile to fix things.

Have you tried calling the number on their WHOIS record?

From www.whois.sc it would appear that this is the correct WHOIS info:

It doesn't take 14 hours to fix..

aingaran, unless it was complete hardware failure, in which case, it could.

Thats fair enough but it doesnt excuse them not notifying their customers about the problem.

They might be getting DDoSed.

Did you check out geektools.com? Maybe it is only partial... From here (San Francisco) it seems down. DNS stuff also showing unreachable: http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/tracert.ch?ip=7host.com

why should complete hardware failure cause a host to be down for more then 14 hours, if that were the reason I would suggest they were not prepared. But that is just a comment on the reply from TRN Douglas not on the 7host issue, from reading this thread I don't think anybody knows what happened to 7host.

Thread moved to the outages and updates forum, in case a 7host representative wants to comment on it publicly.
