I was off to drop an Entrecard and got an unexpected surprise their servers are down due to a fire at the server location.

This is what I found on their site:

“Outage

There was a fire at our datacenter resulting in the failure of some of our systems, our database server appears to be offline still, we’re working on it and we’re really sorry about the issues at this time. more information arriving shortly.

Update: The outage is pretty serious, you can read more about the datacenter fire at ThePlanet forums. They’ve got teams of people there and they’re working through the night. We have no ETA at this time, very sorry.

Served from s02.”

I would be freaking out to say the least. Entrecard is hosted by The Planet

This is what I found on THEPlanetForums:

“Today at approximately 5:45 p.m., a transformer in our H1 data center in Houston caught fire, thus requiring us to take down all generators as instructed by the fire department. All servers are down.

We are working with the fire department, with our facilities staff on site, to assess the situation.

To keep you updated, we will send messages every 15 minutes in Orbit and here in our forum.”

I can’t even imagine what that would be like and I never want to know!

I wish them the best and hope for a speedy recovery.
