Sometimes we see how vulnerable the Internet and its structure can be. On Saturday a fire in Houston, Texas’s The Planet’s H1 Data Center reported a fire that caused them to shut down their generators and in turn shutting down thousands of websites. Personal it has not affected my blogs or websites but many of the big websites including sites like Entrecard, DigitalPoint are affected and the outage could be several hours.
According to a letter sent to The Planet’s customers, “three walls of the electrical equipment room on the first floor blew several feet from their original position, and the underground cabling that powers the first floor of H1 was destroyed.” But that’s not all.

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.
