For a bit there, everything I tried to post (or was trying to read) came up with a "server can't be loaded error". Not sure if it was a problem on this end or mine (although other sites seemed to work okay.)
Seems to be fine now (10:40 am central time) but i just thought i'd mention it. Especially since I just made a lengthy (but interesting) post, hit the post button only to find it didn't make it (and now I type it all over AHHHH!)
But anywho...
I did not notice any downtime. There is monitoring on the server, which checks every 5 minutes to make sure it is up and the website is running. It is not a human doing the check, so there is a possibility something could go wrong and monitoring would not realize it, but at least I know if the server goes down or the webserver stops. The logs for today show all clear.
I had contacted the host about doing a configuration change to the VPS and they completed it today (it was something I could not do). However, the change should not have been noticeable to anyone and it looks like they did it around 4:00 PM EST.
If anyone ever notices something wrong, feel free to post it here or email me.
