Moiras is the server my sites are on. One of many - see:
Server Uptime Reports
and for Moiras specifically:
WebSitePulse Monitoring Service - Customer Report
Note their 94.9% uptime for the month so far!
They are claiming (
Service Disruption: Moiras - Site5 Web Hosting Forums) that a "quick reboot" (their standard Microsoft inspired repair technique) led to them deciding the drive was going bad (that took them an hour), it then took two hours to fit a new drive, three more hours to get the machine ready for reloading server data (for no idea how many websites) and that's been ongoing a couple of hours so far.
Note that this same "drive failure" issue has happened before since I switched to them - in march maybe? I'd look it up on my website, if it wasn't down
I've been trolling for what else is out there ... this lot talk about "failover" technology (
Hosting Zoom - Clustered Failover Web Hosting) which is basically live redundancy in the server ... I like that idea better than Site5.
