    I hope you're referring to your web host and not the seminar host.

    j/k

    Any word on when the host might get their servers back online?

      I asked them (using an email account from a different hosting I have other sites on) and they just said "it's being worked on continuously".

      Fortunately I was going to launch a new book today but put it off until Monday - so it was a close miss (I like to see the silver lining )

      Yes I use hostgator as well 'cause they have a contract with the big guy stating that lightning will never strike them.

    Man, hope the data is safe, lightning can do awful things even when things are "properly grounded". Good luck

      I don't need to make the website I was going to tonight and I get to play on the PS3 and have an early night.. Also some people will be surprised when they go to check my sites out and they're not there.

    I've lost all my money sites to the same lightning strike too. They've been off for hours and I've no idea when they will come back.
