MDD hosting

Looks like http://www.ardmoreweatherlive.com/ is back :slight_smile:

Yes it is. Was starting to wonder if the next update from MDD was going to be “all data lost”. Everything on my site appears to be there and working correctly. But, I am at work and haven’t had the chance to look more in depth.

Mine is still off line.

Yeah, of the half dozen MDD wx sites that I know of Doug’s is the only one back up. It’s a hopeful sign though :slight_smile:

Pingdom shows how big a problem MDD Hosting has…

Not sure what is going on, if I click on my shortcut (on my PC) for my site on my favorites bar it takes me to this site (https://www.emiliya.com/), if I go to google & put in wilney weather it takes me to a default page (http://www.wilneyweather.co.uk/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi) god knows were emiliya.com came from. I think that MDD hosting should say on the default page that it is their fault that the site is down. I have tried to log into the forum but it will not let me in, so I have tried to open a new account but that’s not working, I think that we should have next year free of charge :smiley: :smiley: :D, but I don’t think that we happen :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: .

When I tried going to https://www.wilneyweather.co.uk/ and https://www.halethorpeweather.com on Microsoft Edge, I get a Certificate Error and when I view the certificates for both sites, they show info for emiliya.com. It looks to me that something in the SSL is really, really messed up.

I will see if I can open a ticket about it, as I said I cannot get onto the forum.

Wow, I fully expected to get up this morning and find you all back on line :frowning:

Teal: Do you mean you can’t read the forum, or can’t post?

There are some comments on the forum about SSL. Something like SSL can’t be fixed until the domain is back up, and if they do anything with it before then it makes getting the domain up more difficult.

Not sure why you can’t get into the forum. I do not have a forum account and have not tried signing into my MDD account and have no trouble reading the forum from this link.

I was hoping to be back up too, but since I was already having problems with my site (starting to look like a WD FTP problem of some kind as I watched the log files implode) …

I do feel for the guys at MDDhosting. I know what it feels like to make a small mistake that can/has horrible consequences (medical field). It doesn’t help those affected feel any better, but we are all human.

Hi Niko, I can read the posts in the forum, but cannot log in, so I tried to open a new account but I have not have any reply from them. Tarma, like I just posted I can read the forum but not post, I have sent then some tickets & they have replied, saying, ( I can re-create your account empty on the server which will resolve this issue - you can then put anything you like temporarily in the account / recreate email addresses / etc. When we go to restore the backup we have of your account it will overwrite this temporary account. If this works for you, let me know, and I’ll get it created.

Thank you,)

They have also sent me a email all about the company & how his two sons are going to work with him when they grow up, bla bla bla, etc. I wondering if the MDD has been hacked or some thing like that, we will have to wait & see. I backed up/copied everything that was on MDD sever onto my PC one day last week so I have not lost to much if they lose it all.

I saw the text of that letter. I think it’s genuine and just the product of too little sleep and the extreme stress of seeing this dumb disaster hit what he intended to be his life’s work.

Still, life must go on. e-rice taught me the importance of having a local back up of my website. If the site was really important to me I would probably have moved, at least temporarily, to another host at this point :dontknow:

My site is not back, but I can see the progress in my account access.
I read that letter as a heartfelt apology from an exhausted person. I am sure I would be a lot more frustrated if my business depended on my sites, but I will be sticking with MDDhosting.

Right, I have given MDD a hard time & they have got me back up & running I think, I can access the site by clicking on my banner on here & a few other places, but if you go to google all it shows is the sorry page. I have looked at the" PUBLIC_HTML" with FileZilla & it is filling up slowly, but seems that they have lost 8/9 years of data, I’m glad that I copied all the files etc. last week, so I can put them back in there. All I have to do is get rid of the sorry page that is showing, they sent me a email about changing name severs & a temp blank account but not sure what they have done, watch this space.

your site is loading for me OK now
why would you give them a hard time, when they explained what happened and what they are doing etc

http://auburnweatherlive.com/ is back now.

Sounds like another day or so for mine. Oh well, such is life.

May be not a hard time but I told them that I did not want that other website shown when someone tries to go to my site, or click on any of my links or on other forums etc. & asked them to remove it ASAP. I also told them that I wanted my site back up & running as soon as poss. so I did not lose any of my regular visitors. I’m not really interested about how when his children grow up how the are going to run the company etc. At the moment it looks like they have lost all the all data that was on the there server, I do have a back up of all the files/folders & pictures that were on there last week so the site should be working as normal when I upload all the missing files/folders etc. They have asked me what files are missing & I told them about 8 years worth, they have not come back to me as yet. I also told them that I’m not moaning but I just wanted the site back up & running.

I can now get onto the forum & sign in, so that’s working, logged into cpanel & it looks like all my email accounts have gone, not the end of the world but annoying, so getting they slowly.

This should be a prompt for everyone that has hosting, anywhere, and that is to do regular full backups of your files!
