QuestionAny other 1and1 users lost their servers recently? Pin

As the subject says........anyone else lost their vps?

I received an email from Google saying its bot was unable to perform a routine index of my site. I pulled up the website in the browser, dead. I tried to logon to the server via RDP with no joy. The Virtuoso control panel logon page was active, but couldn't get in to the server.

I remembered seeing an email that there was scheduled updates planned recently, and the dates appeared to coincide.

I contacted 1and1 support, they failed to gain access via different routes and unable to reboot the container. They elevated the issue within their own support hierarchy, who came back and said it was un-recoverable and basically dead. They managed to take a snapshot of the virtual hard disk. I had to perform a re-image and then they will give me a folder structure list so I can tell them what I want back.

Pulling up my google analytic statistics and you can clearly see when it died, early hours 17th June. 1and1 came back and said the updates were around this time and a number of customers were affected.

Surprised if a number of customers were impacted why they hadn't notified anyone, or maybe they just forgot me!

I feel this may be the end of a what has been years of satisfaction with their service...........

Waiting to see what I can recover........there is nothing critical, but all my arduino articles etc. that I had published and were the bulk of my audience attraction are obviously unavailable now to those who relied on them....

Silver lining and all that, I had an ancient build of joomla that wasn't supported or upgradeable, so can maybe consider updating to the latest version and start again! Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
