[RTC List] About 165, 000 Web sites knocked offline by NaviSite outage

[Simon Frech]

Thanks very much for this article, where did you find this?

The Migration/Upgrade information page is still up at http:// 
webnethosting.info   Makes interesting reading for geeks. And good  
spellers. Maybe the 50 engineers mentioned on that page include the  
drivers who took the servers from Baltimore to Andover.

Our website kmud.org was one of the sites knocked off. This also  
affected our email, and it all happened during our pledge drive.

We had no advance warning at all. Brad Jenkins of the local company  
netwebsolutions.com was hired by KMUD last year to redesign our  
website. He knew as of October 25 that there would be an outage. He  
told me on Saturday morning that he didn't call me because he  
expected this to be over in a couple of hours, probably very early in  
the morning. I thought we were on Alabanza servers, and it took some  
digging to find that it's now webnethosting, and eventually I found  
the above mentioned info page.

I was able to repurpose the index page of our old site as an  
"emergency" page, kmudfm.org (at asis.com) and we announced that on  
the air. But still, the number of on-line listeners slipped to two.

So, who else locally knows Joomla well and could maybe help us  
develop our site further?
