The site was offline for a little over 24 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Fortunately, it looks like Entrecard is back up and functioning pretty well now, so it seems that the outage has simply given us a one-day vacation from our dropping routines. For me this was a welcome break because I managed to log in shortly after the site came back online and was able to scoop up some relatively inexpensive advertising deals.

ThePlanet, data center that is down, is one of the most professional hosts out there. They are not for the small one blog website, but rather power some of the largest sites on the net. The response rate was extremely adequate the hourly forum posts to keep us up to date is quite nice. ThePlanet, despite their setback has proved once again to be super professional.
