Hi guys,
Sorry for the recent downtime (yesterday and today). Both periods were caused by two individual incidents.
Thursdays downtime / slow down
On Thursday we suffered from a minor router issue which caused slowdown on our servers. Also as some of you may have read the big G (Google) went down for a period yesterday. We run their tracking code on the site, so because the code couldn't connect with the Googles servers, this caused even more slow down!
Fridays downtime
We have been offline for the last 7hrs as we had a massive hardware failure on the server. This is obviously something I cannot fix remotely, so our hosts have been working at repairing the server.
Everything seems to be up to speed now, but you may noticed a small amount of drag on the site while the new hardware is configured.
Once again, sorry for the downtime.
Cheers,
Ross
