After a short offline period on Friday, AC2 was down for more than 3 hours tonight (GMT).
It turns out that our server has suffered some mysterious "issues":

That would be a failure partly on my part and partly of the hosting service.  I deposited slightly over six months' worth of server fees late last month and assumed it would deduct automatically, as it did the last time I made a large deposit, last year when I assumed half-ownership. 

I was wrong not to be more diligent and less trusting.  It was fixed within 15 minutes of me getting online this morning.

Our site was offline for approximately 4 hours yesterday. The outage was caused by a ddos attack on the servers of our host.
Mysql issues are still present, but should be fixed within 24 hours. Please report anything that's malfunctioning.

We are terribly sorry for any inconvenience caused by this incident.

Sorry for the blackout. It looks like it was related to our daily backup.

Maybe it would be worth moving to weekly backups? Daily is good, but if it's resource intensive weekly should be fine for most purposes.

The site was offline again for 20 minutes or so. It looks like our host doesn't want our money, anymore..

Does this there's going to be a change of host in the foreseeable future?
