[Addendum: Our ridiculously bad hosting provider somehow managed to lose the server Jazz2Online was hosted on, meaning we could not access our webspace for a few days and couldn’t even put up a notice about what was wrong. Backups have been restored now; some content might’ve been lost. Our apologies for the downtime. ~Stijn]

Good to hear that this site is back!
So, you’ve switched the hosting for better?
Also, how does one lose a server? I know that a server can experience damage due to idiots or natural means, but losing it? I just don’t understand it…

There was a power outage, then a backup power outage, then the motherboard apparently was fried, and then the harddisks. TL;DR: they lost it.
We’ve not switched hosts, but as far as I’m concerned we will do so sooner or later (rather sooner than later, actually).

I remember more major downtimes happened under this host. It was a DNS problem last time..

Server from Japan? :o

Yeah, really should change providers.

Is it just me, or does the site run a lot slower than usual since it broke down? On other sites, loading pages don’t take this long…

I already noticed. I ALWAYS have Jazz2Online as a third homepage.
Stijn on 22 Mar 2011 at 09:36
I’ve been having some slight slowdowns too. It’s possible our host is still running on backup hardware and will need to order new components to restore past performance levels…

yeah, I thought it was just me who thought the site was slow, but now I see that I’m not alone…
