Yes I know to move if a host is looking troubled, been doing this for many years now, but if I moved every time a host had problems I would be forever moving. If I do decide to move I'll start a thread asking about hosting. Posting about your hosting in this thread feels like being kicked while down.

Moving my LL server would be a nightmare. I have tons of custom scripts on it and lots of server dependencies for these scripts.

I did go in after I was back up and did MySQL dumps and then tared up everything for all of my domains and downloaded everything to my local drives. FA's domain which is too many gigs to do this we keep a mirror of her domain locally on a FireWire drive.

I saw this posted on another board by M3 Server this morning.

Since it was asked a few times, and no one has posted a response, yesterday's outage at M3server was caused by a power outage. With a few exceptions, our servers remained up and running for 45 minutes to 1 hour. We are looking into our options for longer power backup, as it seems the old plan for 1 hour is no longer sufficient.

M3 Server has been very good to me over the years and with the exception of these recent problems have always been rock solid so hopefully they are taking measures to prevent problems in the future but if this happens again I will be moving at least some of my stuff.
