Is it just me, or is P411 down for everyone else too?

I don't recall P411 going down for this long before. Also, there is no mention of this downtime on P411's twitter support account (@realp411). This is pretty weird.

Disregard my last post. I just saw at P411's Twitter support page they finally relayed that they have a hardware malfunction and are working on it.

I just emailed support and got the following reply:

 
Our hosting company in the EU is telling us there has been a hardware failure on one of the servers, and they are working to restore the site asap.

 

Their hosting company apparently leaves a lot to be desired if they don't maintain backup servers, especially hot backups.

I emailed support and they said the company that hosts their site in Europe had a server failure and they're working on getting everything restored.

 
Not much of a web hosting service if they don't have a hot backup - or any backup.

I’m starting to wonder if this was a ransomware attack and P411 is being tight lipped about it.

thanks for sharing the information.  I don't remember them being down like this before.

This is a long outage if it’s just a hardware problem. I hope it’s not “Backups?  We don’t need no stinking backups!”

In my business, we've had old servers go down. Easily replaced, takes at most a day, unless it is very high end and has to be ordered. Then it takes 2 days.  Hope everyone is comfortable with their credit card info being published on the dark web. Just like Ashley Madison, which didn't catch me.

Unacceptable that a web-hosting service provider doesn't have hot backup servers or even ANY backup servers.

 
P411 should re-evaluate who they use to host their site. I'm also not sure why they would have it hosted in Europe and not in Canada where they're based.

I never use a credit card to pay for P411 renewals. I mail them a bank money order.

That's possible....the longest it had been down is a day. Then again, their hosting service may be someone's basement. There may well be a hardware issue. My grad school friend's computer died just before his proposal exam. He didn't back up everything.

Thank goodness I newer paid via CC and only mailed in money orders. Still, I just hope that they actually destroyed all our personal info like they claim after verification.

but the good news is that (I believe) they lost all their info in this current crash.  

I hope I am wrong but I think the site is a goner.

They never had any of my personal information.

That's what backups are for. Unless their webhost provider is a total, incompetent mess.

I joined in mid-2017 and only needed one provider to vouch for me.

 
No other info was needed. Twenty minutes after filling out my profile info I got an email telling me my account was approved.

Nice to see p411 back up.

I hope they send a "blanket" email to all members explaining what happened and crediting everyone for a reasonable amount of time.

Yes, that's why they should provide some details. Either send out a PM to all members or post a message of the day with an explanation and what they will do to avoid this in the future.

 
Fours days is not acceptable for a server failure.

I just received an email from P411 explaining the outage in more detail. They are also extending all memberships by one week as compensation for the outage.

How come they did this after all this time, as next month it will be a full five years since that crazy law went into effect?

You'd have to ask them. I won't even begin to speculate about the reasons why.
