Are they down for good or just changing servers owners etc? Does anyone know anything? Dino

Just spoken to one of our customers who has some sites hosted there and they can't access any of their data ATM. Rus

No, we are here and I apologize for not lettiing people know sooner but we have been working an getting back running. our main server Enterprise was hacked with root kit and it was taken off line prevent any further breach in security. We are working on bringing it back with a restore. But as everyone knows. That can take a while. Unfortunately it had to be taken down before we could notify anyone. Just to keep you updated.

Not sure why this is happening, we're working with VSHosting & the datacenter to figure out why... - Matt

Hope you'll get the server up soon. Cheers. Dino.
