Running so many blogs and websites, I thought I already know about all the things that make us unable to access our sites. If the internet is down, bring out the back up line. If there’s no electricity, use the laptop, likewise if the computer is down. If the laptop is down, go back to desktop.

If the server is down all the time there’s nothing much we can do but to change servers, like what happened to me and in fact, I am still facing a problem of having my post-server migration blog posts crawled by the search engines and I don’t know what is wrong.

This morning, though, I got to know that there was a fire in the data centre of The Planet, a very popular web hosting company that caused a slew of major websites to go down. Off hand, I discovered EntreCard and StatCounter.

I use both services. No wonder I am not able to check my traffic statistics. And I thought that I would check if my traffic did increase after a little experiment. SIGH. There’s nothing we could do but sit it out.
