Down for me, since an hour now, everything, even their own site.

YEah, mine too, what else is new. I will be looking for other hosting next year. BH are quite bad to be honest. Slow site, and many crashes. Still havent figured out why BH was suggested as the best host for SYmbiostock. Apparently because they were cheap, which is not always the best argument.

Can't get to the Symbiostock forums, and my website is gone.

I wonder if they are just not managing some rapid growth too well.  I signed up with them for another project a few years ago based on a friend's recommendation.  She had run a couple of sites for over 5 years and she said she hadn't experienced any problems whereas her previous host had been a nightmare.  I really don't want to deal with moving my site so I hope they clean up their act real fast.

JustHost hasn't been too bad: I've been with them for a few years now, and this is only the second 'out' I've caught, the other being earlier this year when IIRC BlueHost had been taken over by a new company and their 'systems' didn't merge smoothly. They did post regular updates on Fb, to be fair.

JustHost website is up, but my site (checked on http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com (http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com)) and email are both still down.
JustHost's Facebook: "Services are currently being restored across our network and websites. Some customers may experience sporadic service interruptions as we continue to restore the network but our entire organization is engaged in addressing all remaining issues and supporting our customers."
Same message on Bluehost's Facebook page.

I didn't check my site earlier, but it's up at the moment… almost 3 PM Mountain Time.
