Server Outage

[64Guitars]

Our web hosting provider, Bluehost.com, had some serious issues today and Songcrafters, as well as thousands of other web sites, was unavailable. I checked Google News and found several articles about it.

I've said it before but this is a good time to remind everyone that they should bookmark the following page from my weebly.com site which has several links that can provide clues when you're unable to access Songcrafters:

They're not always accurate (the Host server status link reported "No known issues - Status Ok" throughout this downtime ), but if you try all of the links you should be able to at least learn if the problem is affecting others or just you.

Yeah I couldn't log in this morning for a couple of hours. When ever that happens I just give it a rest for about an hour and try again. It usually connects then. Thanks for the info. 64.

According to Bluehost's twitter feed, there was a problem with their DNS server:

It was grindingly slow for me last night, but zippy and responsive today.

I imagine that this contributed to the problems too:
