Industrial-lyrics.com and Industrial Inc. dead
So, I've gotten a few messages about the sites not working. I was aware that my hosting company was moving the server those sites are on, so I assumed it was just that. Apparently the hard drive for the SQL server (the database system that holds all the information for both sites) died earlier this week. As of now, the company is waiting for a recovery firm to assess it. I was told that it could be next week (2/28/08) before they know what the prognosis is.

Unfortunately, I do not have recent backups of the databases (they were lost recently when I got a new computer). There's a very real chance that they will not be able to recover the databases from that SQL server. If that turns out to be the case, I haven't decided what I'll do.

Hope for the best.

Ehh...


Well, hope it works out.

Nevertheless, you might want to look into another hosting company. That shouldn't happen. Ever.

I doubt they'll compensate me if all is lost. How do you put a price on those databases?

I don't know where their backups are. You'd think they'd go right for those and do the data recovery as an afterthought. They're a really big webhosting company. You'd think they'd be more together.

For now I'm willing to give them a chance. This is the first big thing that's happened in the four years I've been with them.
