But all the customers bitching about the downtime; what the fuck did you expect? If you valued your customers, you would have had a temp solution running on a downgraded setup on some virtual hosts you could close when it was done - it would have cost you less than $500,-
And if you cant afford that, you are not running a real business, and should start making beermoney somewhere else.

I assume alot of amerinoc users are tube, tgp and affiliate site owners like myself. I have around 7 tbs of contents on all servers, they are all mirror and backup with amerinoc. It is very difficult for us to create a downgrade system like you said since that means I have to sync all contents to an available servers else where but this will take days, 7 tbs are nothing, some tube owners have 30 - 100tbs, syncing is a problem. Also affiliates rely on Search Engine traffic, and its a well known fact when things are down for an extended period of time, then search performance and ranking will eventually drop, just like pages gone 404 dropping out of index. We can't put a temp page saying server is unavailable and host the page else where, then modify DNS to the temp server. Because Google will crawl the sites and find out all pages change to a blank page with one line, and it will eventually update the pages with another cache. Hurt ranking again. Thats why some of us are impatience, its like racing with time.
But I am lucky one because i setup my servers with Round Robin, and one server from Amerinoc is up, the other one is still down, it has been almost 2 days of down time. But people can still visit my online server, just some can't.
