To many onion layers.
So, I have a mate who runs all my servers, I pay him. He buys the server space from a company based in Sydney. Lets call them Company A. Turns out, Company A buy the server space from another company, Company B. So by the time it gets to me, its been through at least 3 businesses, that I know of. Lots of middle men.
Couple days ago my mate got a email from company A to say Company B had gone into receivership, and Company A would be relocating all the servers to another Company ( D? ). But instead of giving us a notification of when this may happen, they just started transferring stuff last night without warning. I first noticed about 11pm last night when my mates email server went down, let him know, and went to bed. Seams he spent all night till 7am trying to get the servers back up and change all the DNS stuff.
This also affected some of my business clients, as I host their workshop software ( JAQ ) on these cloud servers. We got them going by 8am, thought there were a heap of DNS propagation delays. Got TBS up mid morning, but again DNS took longer.
At least no data was at risk, its was just the unexpected time frame and DNS issues.
