I use this web hosting company and have generally been very satisfied.

However my domains have been inaccessible all day today (2nd August
2004). Even the hosting company's own website www.virtualnames.co.uk
is inaccessible. The phone line is constantly engaged.

I hope this is due to some technical problem which will soon be
resolved rather than something more fundamental.

Is anyone else having problems and does anyone know what the cause is?

Dear John,

Hi, it's unfortunate, however there seems to be a real problem.
After a long night of partying to celebrate the total tossing of our 1,000th
customer, our Server Admin mistook the UPS Generator for a toilet and pissed
away all our power.

We are looking into contingencies now.

For the UPS that is.
Our Admin's found the loo now.

Thanks for your thoughts.

BTW, did you want to upgrade your account to annual?
