My business server has been down for about ten hours and I couldn't sleep at all last night. Fortunately, all the data had been perfectly backed up and the damage was limited. The reason for the problem is clear; the hosting company of my site was closed! I had to find another company, acquire the new domain name, transfer the backup data to the new server, configure the system so that it can run perfectly on the new environment, and make an announcement to my service users. I had to do all the things in a very short term. It was extremely hectic and of course I don't like to experience such a thing again, but it was surely thrilling and exciting. Anyway, the old server was in Texas and more than 80 percent of my users were in Japan. I was thinking that it was a kind of waste of the Internet resources because most of the data had to be transfered via the submarine cable under the Pacific Ocean. Now, the new server is in Japan and
waste of resources would be reduced.
The server down was unhappy, but the response got quick. I didn't know that my drafts were sent to Texas every time. At any rate, "After rain comes fair weather."
