It re-directs me to cPanel (or ePanel, not sure, didn't bother reading), and says such directory does not excist.

Djur tells me it's been taken down for an upgrade.

I know this should be PM'd, but why are you enraged?

Ack. It's still down. Is the upgrading process almost complete? My palms are sweating.

Desperance was switching servers like throwing a ball to someone else, but unfourtunately the ball fell in the sea between the two servers before it reached the other side.

In other words, the server transfer went horribly wrong and desperance has gone to /dev/null, I think. Apparantly it was because whoever did the company that hosted the source server cancelled desperance's account before the host had a chance to transfer it.

That's what it looks like. I frankly have no idea, I'm trying to track down Dan Luria so I can crack his head against a concrete wall.

Of course, it's not really his fault. They claim to have old backups. They better damn well. In the meantime, I'm going to work on switching to my OPG hosting account.

Like I always knew and dan said, he doesn't know as much about hosting as he thought he did...he had to learn someday.

Djur is lying if he said "upgrade".

Our accounts were completely nuked. All of them. Mine, Dan's, Matt's ^_^ V

Without warning, CitadelHost shut us down, deleted all our files, and have no backups. Everything at Desp that was Desp and that would've been Desp is no longer Desp, but consigned to the eternal void.

Anywho, here's my sorry message:

Dear Valued Customer,

We here at Feranix Enterprises apologize for this horrible event, but as you
may or may not know, we have our server hosting through Dan Luria, our
representative in Connecticut (USA) who derives his hosting from
CitadelHost.

CitadelHost spontaneously cancelled my, Dan's, and Matt (desperance)'s
accounts within a 2 minute timespan. A refund was issued to us, but our
accounts were deleted without any chance of backup or warning.

Thus, we have switched server hosting to another area, still with all our
capabilities, but we have been downsized from 6 GB space 60 GB bandwidth for
the company as a whole, to only 2 GB of space and 20 GB of bandwidth (all
figures are on a per month basis).

We deeply apologize for any data lost, and am sure, as responsible
developers, that hopefully you'll have backups on your hard drives.

With our new hosting plan, we have our own nameservers:

ns1.songofthepack.com
ns2.songofthepack.com

Unfortunately, however, it will take one to seven days to register them, so
DNS changes may not appear for over a week.

We kindly ask you, if you wish to continue hosting, to send a reply e-mail
in acknowledgment, once again providing username (8-character limit),
password, domain, and that you switch to the new nameservers, which may not
function for the maximum period of one week, the minimum period of a day.

Once again, we apologize for any inconveniences, and will badmouth
CitadelHost from now on.

EDIT- Also, there was no "upgrade", Dan was switching servers away from Citadel so we didn't have to have random downtimes.

There was no server transfer or anything. As far as I know, we were just spontaneously SHUT THE F*** DOWN IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards What is it with Desp_files/tongue.gif)

F***

Can we have a funeral of some sort? Or perhaps, (don't hurt me, please!) it was better that it happened.

Ah, well.
