Bluehost Went Down

Last night and early this morning Bluehost's servers were down for several hours. Not good. Actually, the worst outage I've seen with them. In the middle of the night I managed to get through by phone to the support desk — they told me there was some kind of local power emergency; Rocky Mountain Power had showed up at the server facility and given Bluehost fifteen minutes to shut everything down. Ouch! But to get everything running again all that was necessary was to flip some switches. Don't panic! I think this kind of thing could have happened anywhere, it wasn't Bluehost's fault, and they handled it very professionally.
