I just woke up, checked our membership sites, and discovered that ALL our join pages are down, as is our NATS admin.

Went to put in a ticket with NATS, and discovered clients.toomuchmedia.com is also down.

Got Charles on the phone, and to their credit, Dave (support tech) called me back almost immediately.

Apparently they had a major disk crash, and if your installation of NATS happens to "phone home" while their server is offline, your entire NATS goes down.

They fixed it quickly, but God knows how long our program would have been down if I hadn't happened to check.

Disk crashes suck and can happen to anyone, but I guess I now have learned that I need to have external monitoring on our join pages as well as our sites.
