ecotypes server "maintenance"

[James Proctor]

Dear all, I observed this AM that our ecotypes.us site was down. After a considerable wait, I reached support for our server host, who admitted they are doing "maintenance" on our server instance, as of roughly 11 am Eastern US time. [Our server, btw, is a "high availability" server...in theory zero downtime...] They did not notify me as to this so-called maintenance.

I'm not happy about this, and apologize if some of you are experiencing instructional issues...I myself will have students using EcoTypes in about four hours. 

They have no estimate as to when the server will be back. I will check again in one hour, for my own instructional purposes. It is likely it will come back in a few hours, though apparently with the backlog of traffic it may take awhile to stabilize.

As usual, please be in touch if needed.

Regards,

Jim P.
