Default Bluehost Web Hosting Down
Good Afternoon Everyone,

Just a quick note to let those of you who use Bluehost for web hosting,know their servers are down due to a major power outage in their area. I figured I would let you know, in the event you try to connect to your website and it doesn't work (like I tried to do for mine... all of my sites are hosted by Bluehost and all of my sites are down). At the moment calling Bluehost results in a busy signal; which was my first inkling that something wasn't right.

I do wonder however, why a generator didn't kick in? I mean, one would think a web hosting company would invest in something like that, no? Expensive maybe... but come on.. with millions of customers, that is the least they could do!

Hey Darlene, all my sites are on Bluehost, too, and they are fine. Sometimes just a box goes down - I'm on box 221, and I'm fine. A few other sites that I've been the designer for are in different boxes and they are fine.

Might just be that they are working on something like happened to me last week. I did send them a support ticket from the homepage of BH and they answered promptly to let me know what was going on. Maybe send them a support ticket?

Oh - just checked and your dvictoriava/trueharmony site is working.

There was an outage for about 2 hours this afternoon...but all sites affected are back online. Twitter was all a buzz this afternoon about it though.

Crisis over!
