Speramus

Whew! For those of you who have been vigilant, the Speramus site has been down since Sunday at 10pm. We’ve been working around the clock to get something back up, but we’ve just managed to restore from backups today. As a note, this does mean that if you’ve sent us any emails since Sunday, we probably haven’t and won’t get them. Please try again!

What happened was that our old hosting company (UC WebHost) essentially Enron’d us. The CEO sent out an email saying that there was a trojan on the network and that they’d be down doing some maintenance. ETA was only a few hours.

It ended up being 117 hours, to be exact.  Though there’s little evidence as to what happened between then and 4pm today, what we do know is that UC Webhost was acquired by Impact Hosting, LLC as of 4pm. We’d managed to recover the old files from our prior hosting company and have since moved to BlueHost, which we think will end up being more reliable.

Our apologies for the inconvenience. Outages are an extremely rare occurrence and we’re working diligently to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. Feel free to email us with any concerns.
