Web hosts have bad days, too

First my email went out, and then two of my sites went down (they’re on a single web hosting server).

I sprung in to action. Well, not really.

I have backups of the sites and another email address I can use, but there’s not much to do when a server problem like this happens.

What there is to do:

  1. make sure the web hosting company knows there’s a problem (call, email, repeat as necessary)
  2. wait
  3. fret and stew while waiting, knowing that you really can only do 1. and 2. above

Oh, and #4 could be to start (or continue) researching other web hosting services you could use instead!
