Blizzard hits Bangkok!


2007 holds great promise, but not without a few bumps along the way. Our web site visitors will know that we hit a small hiccup just coming out of the holiday season, our web hosting provider got hit by a blizzard. Actually they are located in Canada, TheDevShop is in Bangkok. Please forgive the sensationalism in our headline, and the retouched image, but in a sense it is true. It is interesting to see how the internet is indeed a global community, sharing not only information, but weather too!

A number of our web sites were hit, these include a all our product sites, our support site and on-line store web site. These were down was down almost 24 hours on Jan 10th. After digging through the snow drifts, our hosting company was able to reach the servers to get them back on-line. All our web sites are now up and running, our apologies to all who were inconvenienced by this outage. We invite all of you back to our sites to continue your browsing, support and shopping.

That was a great big outage!

I'm glad it's all sorted out now, I was wondering what was up because I was trying to access the online help files, but obviously couldn't get to them.

Nice retouched image too ;-)

Sorry to hear of your problems,

Business Continuity at your hosting site must suck if they went down for a full 24hrs (I hope you hit them for compensation)

Probably more likely that the tech heads were still hung over from the New Year.

I'm surprised that you don't use a Far East hosting solution bearing in mind the lower costs and newer technology combination in Thailand.

Love the software, I'm still a newbie so still trying to get my head around the applications full functionality (working thru the tutorials)

All the best
