[Official announce] Daily Bitcoins and CoinURL server problems

[giantdragon]

You may be noticed that a message "Error 403 — Forbidden" appears on the Daily Bitcoins and CoinURL. They both are located on the same shared hosting, which experiencing serious problems now. Databases were not affected, I still have access to the MySQL server right now.

Response from the admin (translation):

Hello!
At this moment we are performing unplanned maintenance works (equipment replacement after failure). We hope to restore operation today.
Sorry for inconvenience.

I noticed this some hours ago yes, maybe you can add a backup server or something? because all coinurl links are useless at this moment.

Huh, I would be happy if CoinURL generated enough profit just to move to the separate VPS from this crappy shared hosting.

You cannot use a free service as a backup? just to keep the links up

I have another node which I can use for keeping links working, but "coinurl.com" and "cur.lv"  DNS records point to the shared hosting. DNS update could last longer than server outage, so it is just not worth.

Server up now!
