WHT Down

[AshleyUK]

Hello,

Has anyone else noticed WHT is down, according to http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/webhostingtalk.com.html

It's been down for 2 hour's and a bit.

Wonder what's causing it, large DDOS to their infrastructure or a failure somewhere, the fact they don't even have a maintenance landing page.

They got flooded with fake GreenValueHost Reviews and decided to close doors. ;-)

It's up, but I get 503 responses.

Back up for me, however getting some nice Database errors when ever I try and view any content other than the index page.

MySQL Error : Table './wht_prod_forum/post' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed

Ruh roh, that's going to take a few to repair.

Ouch! Let's hope they have backups

Ah a simple mysqlcheck will be fine.

I remember prohacker (I think that was his username?) saying that WHT does very frequent off-node backups.

Yeah I know, it was more a joke about the fact everyone plasters about having backups all over WHT.

I am sure/very much hope they do.

Working fine for me...

Same here, seems back up fully.

I think I recall at least one very messy instance where those backups saved their bacon...
