Where did WolfPaw Hosting go??

[MusicMan]

I have a client who was using WolfPaw for their hosting. They just disappeared into thin air yesterday, website, phone and all!?!?! Does anyone know what happened to them? Are they down temporarily/permanently?? Any info is appreciated.

I'm having the same issue.

I've reached out to Miva too but haven't heard back.... I was hoping maybe WolfPaw Hosting communicated something to Miva.... If Miva lets me know something outside of the forum I will post it here.

I just spoke to them. Their upstream provider at their facility is down and when it's back up, they'll be back up. You can get data from Cogent on the issue: http://status.cogentco.com

As of right now this is the Cogent status:

Thank you SO MUCH Rick! I really appreciate the info. While I might be thankful, some of their customers may not be so appreciative that they have no clue what is going on or any way to reach them..... Thanks again Rick for being proactive!

You're welcome, yeah I could hear the stress when they answered the phone, no fun.

[MusicMan]

Yikes..... Yeah, I'm sure their stress level is off the charts!

hmmm...never knew construction equipment was hard to hotwire...uh, not that I have any real experiance in that area...

Bruce.. the newer stuff is harder to hotwire... My grandpa had an old tractor and some other stuff we hot-wired as kids so we could drive it around.

Nowadays they have chip enabled keys just like our cars... and esp in place like the "big city" companies often put gps trackers with geofences and if moved outside the 'fence' the motors cut out. They can cut them off remotely outside of work hours too now. super fancy... not that I would have any real experience in that area either...

I wonder if anyone in my neighborhood might have a bulldozer? I am curious... I might need to clean out a cow shed. It is getting deep.

LOL. Yea, kind of expected that of course, esp when they are half million or more in cost. Fun age to live in. Someone managed to steal a car at my son's work (ok, managed not so much the keys where in it) (Mercedes Benz R & D). They then proceeded to have a good time messing with the guy as the car can be controlled completely via remote. He suspect the guy left the keys in on purpose.

[DianneA]

Yeah! just came back up! Thanks Rick for looking into this.

[Rick Wilson]

That's good to hear!
