From what I can gather, after articles in the Indo and herald in relation to Katy French and her passing, named them they saw a huge spike in traffic and H365 pulled the plug.

Someone in blacknight then stepped in and has offered them a free server and presumably lots of bandwidth, which is where they now reside.

Thats what I've gathered from a few comments here and there on blogs.

Anyone have any more details? Michele?

Its to do with comments on some of the posts on their site, the Indo article is here Critics silenced as stars flock to Katy’s Bebo tribute page - National News, Frontpage - Independent.ie

There was a post on the home page of beaut.ie suggesting it was a bandwidth exceeded issue at H365 for about 30 mins before they came back up but there may have been more to it.

Quote from Aphrodite on Fatmammycat.com: Katy French has died.

Quote:
The articles in the herald and the indo for the last two days about evil beaut.ie would have been hilarious were they not a pretence to wring yet one more story out of the poor girls death.

We're down because of total incompetence on the part of Hosting365.

Oh its been a great week

Haha classic.

I don't work in H365 so I cant say what happen but my guess is that their spike in traffic brought other sites on the shared server to its knees so...

Nah I would blame the fact on beaut.ie being so cheap and not willing to splash out on a dedicated server.

Yea but why buy one when you can have "a (black)knight in shining armour" help you out with a complimentary one.

To be honest they may not have known they needed one.

Lucky gob****es. I wonder if I pulled a Tom Rafferty what would happen, he too was offered a freebie (from H365) but actually turned it down.

Not going to comment other than to say they did know they needed dedicated and we'd been telling them the same for weeks. Unfortunately, the spike of traffic around the katy french issue brought a shared sql server to it's knees (and trust me it's not a lightweight) and we had no choice but to invoke our AUP to protect the other customers.

The choice to move host was the customers.
