Our service provider is in the midst of a planned power outage that should be ending soon. It started at about 5 AM, and was planned for 1-3 hours, so fingers crossed, we should be back by 8 AM EST.
Dreamhost is moving the server postalnews.com is located on “down the hall”. They had estimated 20 minutes downtime for the move, which has just about gone by now, so hopefully we’ll be back soon.
We are down at the moment, thanks, apparently, to a memory upgrade at our service provider- hopefully we’ll be back soon! If you can’t wait, here are today’s headlines:

Looks that way- no word yet from our hosting company, but we got a trouble report just after 6:30 PM EDT, and, sure enough, postalnews is unreachable- hopefully not for long- stay tuned…
Update: the outage was brief- our montioring service says we were back up by 7:06 PM.
That’s the way it seems, anyway, with the problems we’re encontering with our hosting service. Service has been spotty since Saturday, so we’ve moved postalnews.com to an alternate site, http://postalnewsbackup.blogspot.com/ . The postalnews.com address should start forwarding to that location soon.
Some features, specifically postalforum.com and the postalnews.com blog won’t be available until the server issues are resolved.
Looks like we’re down again- very frustrating, although it is a pretty slow news day so far!
The issue is a hardware problem at out service provider that has been going on since Saturday morning intermittently. The site was working fine earlier this morning.
Update: we’re back- keep your fingers crossed!
Our service provider is having problems with a server, which it expects to resolve shortly- based on their lat message, we should be back by 9:30 AM EDT. Stay tuned!
