There’s a small quick entry on my ServerStatus blog for those interested. For the lazy or unintrested people, I’ll just put it here.
The server that hosted the “Student Site” is technically fine, so no information has been lost, however, for that server to connect to the internet it used another server as a relay. The relay server had a hardware failure and I had to order replacement parts. With the holiday season and the extreme ‘shit’ weather, I have no clue when I’ll get the parts, but once I do it’ll take about a day to set everything back up and then the sites will be back online.
For those interested, the new server specs (once I have the rest of the parts and get it built):
