Below is a statement of downtime explaining the recent, rather excessive downtime. This was a mixture of bad luck and human failure.
Please take note of the following url:

This will be maintained as an 'updated' status site in times of server issues so you can always find out what is going on.
Hopefully nobody suffered withdrawal symptoms from this excessive downtime, and this, I am told was just a 'bad month' for the host and not a reflection on regular service.
I am currently looking for a better VPS/dedicated server, but unfortunately the price of these are rather high. If you know of a decent hosting plans, please let me know by PM on the forums. I can provide stats and figures on resource utilisation. I would prefer hosting outside of UK, US, France, Germany, etc. as these are problematic

Cluster available at nl-92.x.x.8 which serves as the PHP 5 cluster is currently down. This downtime is unexpected.
Cause for the downtime is still unknown. Research of yesterday's access logs reveals server abuse by a few customers but this does not determine the complete unavailability of the cluster. Other possible assumption is hardware fault.
Please co-operate with us during this downtime. Your patience is appreciated.
We will update this news post as soon as we have any information that we can share with you!
