I haven't seen Big Scoots in a while either. Possibly something happened to his supply line, I'll take a look when I get a chance since I was considering trying out his services.
Still, Djboutit are you going to wait this out or are you going to jump ship again right away like you've done every time a host goes down for more than a few hours. I actually did get your data back intact like I said I would, and still do have it stored safely in the backups. Just you were too impatient about the outage- by the time the situation cleared up enough for me to actually be able to do anything, you had already gotten hosting elsewhere. Remember, hosts that offer to end users oftentimes are second to last in the chain of service providers. When something happens upstream from them, they're as in the dark and upset about it as you are. If anything moreso, because they have to deal with all of their clients coming back at them for answers they don't have either.
I noticed they are down as well. I submitted a ticket, waiting for the reply. Their main site is up...
3 days to a week offline will ruin my sites. Visitors will not come back after this.
Here 2 more things I found out about this host I do not which one to believe

I have heard many bad reviews about Burst.net and this situation just confirms it. He will have angry clients asking for money back, so I don't know if he will re-open his hosting business.

Last time I talked to him he was on a VPS with BigScoots. He's also banned from here and WHT.
That's why you should just cut out as many middle men as you can and just go with somebody who runs their own dedicated servers. Less chance of something going wrong up the chain somewhere that you have no control over.
Technihost has not been a client of BigScoots. If he has he was registered completely under a different name and at no point has any of our clients "gone down" for any period other then that was scheduled maintenance. If he and his clients experienced downtime it was because a suspension took place.
He told me at the end of February that his VPS provider was you. (Ref: http://i53.tinypic.com/142bi9v.jpg) His real name is Kirk Ladd. Perhaps he purchased under that name because technihost was just a cover up. It was never a registered "business" in the state of Ohio as he claimed it was.
