Outage started Friday 15.07.2013 at ~morning and was restored in Monday deep night (+2 GMT).
Phone and Skype was not available, websites and emails was down, hoster's website -- the same. No ability to make fresh back-up. SEO positions was rapidly falling down. No hope or at least information if Mark is at least alive.
Sad feeling that COMPANY that I was working with faked me: it is only one person indeed.
After waiting 3 days until Sunday's end, I decided to move to another hoster's server and to create websites there from my old back-ups.
When it was almost done, deep night at Monday, website became working so I rashed to make fresh copies of cPnael accounts.
No explanation or apologies that time. But I was very glad that it is at least working.
Of course, about martini I heard here at first -- but it does not matter -- I never drink alcohol because of my Christian vision. And I'm living in Europe, too far from Cuba. And I got too much problems with customers and SEO-positions and my time waste on restoring to be bought for $50 martini.
