POI Factory was offline for a while today due to a network outage at our hosting company. The outage started around 9 am eastern and lasted approximately two hours.

EDIT: A second outage started around 1:45 pm eastern and lasted approximately 1.75 hours.

Sorry for the troubles.

The network provider should be the one apologizing...

It took me a little while to sort out the troubles too.

POI Factory has been using 1and1 (hosting company) since the start back in 2006. Outages have been few and far between, so I first suspected my computer or local network connection.

It appears the outage affected all of 1and1's dedicated servers, worldwide. They have over 70,000 servers, so a lot of web sites were involved.

I knew it wasn't my local connection or computer. I was starting to believe it might be the server/website was forever gone. If that would ever happen I would miss it like no other.
