Well, my site hosting company did it again.  Apologies all.  I’ve gotten multiple e-mails letting me know the site was down.  I got no notice from the hosting company.  The e-mailed explanation of the site’s failure was pretty lame too.  Here it is:

To Whom It May Concern:I’ve been advised by several regular visitors to my site that it has not been visible in the last 20 minutes, maybe longer. I cannot access hikenbike.net, digitalrv.net, photonh.com.

I’ve personally tried as well, and the sites are not responsive.

Ticket Status was changed from Open to Waiting
Dear Richard, CharpentierThanks for using our services.

First of all let me express the most sincere apologies for such inconveniece you are encountering at the present moment.

web22 sever is down because it is put under maintainence

and the server will be started running as soon as possible

Neverthelss we have declared urgent work on improving of our services and stabilizing of the situation with the downtime and servers outages you might understand that it requires some time to be accomplished and processed.

The site remained unusable for hours, and this morning I’m still having some troubles with it.  Apologies all.  I’ve got to tell you, maintenance on a server during the afternoon is not a standard thing.  You’d think server maintenance would also warrant an e-mail to site owners……  Hmmmm.  When I was doing networks all maintenance occurred between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
