No, the server didn't explode. More like someone probably forgot to pay their bandwidth/server bills to "the man". That someone is not me. No, not me at all. That someone was most likely the host that I used to have - Cyberwings.

Apparently I was only a few hours too late when Rack Shack decided to pull the plug on Cyberwing's servers. Again, most likely due to a lack of funding. (I'm not 100 per cent sure of that) I was going to backup all of the content on the site Friday morning, and much to my surprise when I woke up it was already "broken". Down for good it seems.

Cyberwings ran into some problems about 3 weeks ago when (I'm assuming this) they didn't pay their bandwidth provider at their own data center in Maine. That got shut down, and I had the feeling that things weren't going too well for them after that. I started looking around for some new, better hosts and after looking for quite sometime I spoke to some guy in a store who was a web designer and recommended me to a good host. Insiderhosting.com. They have good service, fast servers, and fast tech support. If you're looking for a good host, your best bet would be to go with them. It's obviously what I'm using now.

As for the regular updates, they'll start up again today or tomorrow, this was merely a brief to tell you guys what happened. Unlike what old host did to me when they're servers got the plugs pulled.

P.S., Their site doesn't work as of now because their servers are down. All of them.
