There was a problem earlier today because of that tornado thing - we rang to check.

I also did some maintenance on the database about an hour ago or so.

Apart from that I have been on here pretty much all day - no problems

tornado thing ? [skyuser was the only one not loading all other sites were fine [including email etc ]it was almost like a time out [without the timeout error if that makes sense [[tried from 4.50-1930] cant work out why its just one site

The tornado in London this morning took out a fair few servers where we have ours colocated.

Betweem 4.30pm to 7.00pm definitely been ok for me apart from the 10 mins or so when I updated the mysql / my.ini - and then only while I stopped and restarted it.

In fact if you look at todays posts, there were loads between the time period you reported.

I had a couple of short periods today when the site appeared down. Pinging came back with host unreachable.
