PEQ dead?

Meh, a problem every couple of months seems a minor thing indeed.

Stick with the free in my opinion.

That should be the longest time that it might be down. But, I believe FNW is going to try to contact someone to resolve it before then if possible. So, once the AC issue is all worked out, it should just need a power up.

They are having overheating issues where the servers are. It's understandable that they want to protect the hardware--the stuff is brand new, right?

Heating issues for a week or more doesnt sound right though. Wonder how many computers fried.

It isn't too uncommon for Data Centers to have heating issues during the first warm days of the year. In the building I work at, our server room has the same issue every year. Apparently there is a leak in the coolant and they just have to come back out and refill the coolant again. Normally it shouldn't last a week, but a few days probably isn't uncommon considering how busy AC guys probably are this time of year. The problem is that the low coolant still works fine when the weather isn't hot, because it still cools enough as long as the AC runs high. But, once it gets to a certain point, the AC can't keep it cool enough even if it runs around the clock.

This is just a guess about what is happening in the Data Center that PEQ is hosted in, but I think it is probably a similar case.
