What's Up with CreativeCow.net

Been trying to visit the "CreativeCow.net" website. . . on different computers, no less. It's as if it no longer exists (although it's still registered per www.networksolutions.com). I find "Creative Cow" to be a wealth of information regarding video recording/editing, etc.

What's up???

Thanks, jetdv! I see the same question was asked only yesterday! Didn't see it.

Any idea when it will be up and running again? Hope so! There's some great information there.

My news server was down for two solid days, then today my ISP was down till a couple hours ago. S... happens. DOS attacks are getting more common and more nasty.

*whew*. Three words for them .... "backup, backup, backup".

If my server got so trashed that i had to reformat and start from scratch, i could probably have it back online in less than two hours. Then it would take about 6 hours to restore all the web pages and datafiles from backup. Good backups make this a smoother operation. I've had to do this a few times so i can certainly empathize. :(

The eventual goal is redundant servers so that i can just change an IP address in an emergency and be back online in a few moments.

I didn't copy the entire message. Apparently there have also been problems between their server and their ISP as well. They are actually now in the process of moving to a new ISP.

Ah. That can explain a lot. I can empathize very well with that too.
