hpalternity.com having an occasional lie-down

[synecdochic]

I keep getting messages from the hosting company that the machine hpalternity.com is on keeps becoming unresponsive and needs to be rebooted. (I will guess somebody else on the same virtual server has a runaway script that's locking all the CPU, or else the physical hardware is having problems or something.)

I'm pretty sure I have the whole thing backed up (although I'll take a fresh backup the next time the server comes up while I'm around/awake/free, just to be certain), and the hosting company is pretty on top of noticing & fixing it when there's a problem. Still, if you can't connect to the site, that's why!

EDIT: Yeah, the site's allegedly back up, but I can't connect to it via SSH and the web server isn't responding. I've opened a ticket with the host, but I gotta go pass out now, so it won't get fixed until tomorrow if they need me to do anything.

Any update on this? It's been ages and I was in the middle of rereading :'( I'll happily contribute to costs if needed...

Linny's post made me go looking... did the hpalternity site fall doen go boom again? Or was it too much trouble to keep? I didn't d/l all the pdfs, so I will be sad if they are no longer accessible.
