GRRRR! My site has been down for nearly 24 hours since yesterday and when I woke up today, thank God it’s working. However, I am still unable to access my domain’s CPanel and also my e-mails.

Reason for downtime from my webhost:

We have received information that the kernel versions installed in the servers are vulnerable (though they are new) , and needs upgrade very shortly.
Inorder to make the system foolproof, we shall be taking down the server for immediate maintanence tomorrow at 3.00 am GMT. The server will be undergoing a re-image, and we would be restoring the accounts from a backup at least “ONE WEEK OLD“.
This is to ensure that we donot have any suspicious contents on the websites. Therefore, we would advise you to make any changes on your domains after the server upgrade only.

The info above is gotten from my webhost site. I think it’s just not fair to bring down out site like that without even notifying us through email. Restoring backup at least one week old is not very acceptable because I post everyday and I will loose 7 posts. Luckily they’ve only reverted back to one day before and I only lost 1 day’s post after I complained to them.
If I am not mistaken, they have like 20 over servers and they are re-imaging all servers. So please bear with us until everything is completed.
