Our host seemed to have some kind of catastrophic failure this morning as when I checked our server status, not only were we down but about 30 of there others servers also had problems? we are up again within an hour of me sending an urgent request and I see the last post here was around 7am GMT, so we were probably only down for 2 or 3 hours.
It is our first major glitch since the move and but otherwise I find them a great improvement from our last host.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
PS. The server is still not 100% functional so things may still be a little fragile for a while.
