Westhost down - Anyone else?

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Westhost?

WMW is down and a few of my sites are gone. Even Westhost main site has gone.

Wonder if they forgot to pay their hosting bill

My sites on WestHost fortunately appear to be uneffected today. But yes WestHost itself and WMW are down for me and have been most of the day I think.

Nightmare.

My DNS no longer resolves and will take 48hrs to sort itself out.

Bang in the middle of a pr and backlink update as well

A large data center outage in Chicago has left several thousand servers offline. The data center was home to DNS servers of WestHost. Fibre cut caused a main router to go out, the failover did not fail over properly. Then Cisco flys in the wrong replacement router. Things have been down for 11 hours plus.

Yeah it was a shock to see WMW down, but it's sort of running in an alternate location now - see http://www.searchengineworld.com/forum911/1.htm
