Server down today!

It's 8:00 am EST and I just realized my Awknet server is down/frozen.  None of the sites load. 

Now, since Awknet's move to the new data center a couple weeks ago, I have lost the ability to login to my "Remote Reboot" utility, which allows me to force a reboot remotely.

The server froze around this time last week.  It took Awknet 1.5 hours to respond to my emergency page and reboot the server. Reasonable I guess.  So I suppose I just gotta wait, figuring it's probably 5:00 am down there.

Downtime is a part of any online business, but whichever way you look at it - it still sucks like a giant hoover on steroids.  Mainly because the business has been breaking records in hits and revenue.  This day, June 30, is the last day of the Clickbank pay period.  And the income has been explosive, record breaking.  I kinda hoped to end the period with a bang -- not a fizzle.
