I know exactly what you are talking about. I think we must be using the same company, but I did not lose my data. This same company also seems to have a lot of downtime problems. I guess I have another server on my node that is always crapping out the CPU. I'm waiting to roll over to the new KVM based system. If I still experience problems after the switch, I'll be switching to another provider. Hey Dan. I know exactly what you are talking about.

The company was acquired by a larger firm, so I suppose you can say they did go down. What's funny is that the day before it happened I was going to take a backup to rebuild my VPS because I had some issues with coreutils I couldn't resolve. I decided to postpone it until the next day, but next day my VPS was gone. I guess I just learned that I should do backups the hard way. Actually, I don't have any backups for this VPS yet, but there is not much besides this blog on it anyway.

What a nightmare. Did the hosting company refund anyone? They probably went down after that. I do cron a backup using duplicity which does gpg'd incremental backups to an offsite location. Works nice. Of course I run the occassional test recover of backups. I hope you get your new vm backup and running. Sorry to hear about the bad luck Daniel. What a nightmare.
