Our company moved to the new office and few new guys joined our team.

Hi there! Our site was down for about one week. The reason is our hoster hosting.ua had fire in their data-center! About 20% of servers are dead as well as the back-ups. But we are lucky – server with our blog did not receive damages.

Conclusion:

• whatever your hoster says to you, you should aslo make back-ups by your own
• you should have some reserved hosting for such cases
• you should register your domain at another registrant instead of your hoster, to be able manage it by yourself even if your hoster is down
• you should use some service that will be checking “is your site up or down”, if it’s not – notify you (SMS, E-Mail)
• and the main one: don’t worry, everything can be fixed
