We have a significant investment and interest in the satisfaction of every HostHead customer. While today is a bad day for HostHead clients, it is precisely a reminder about why the acquisition of HostHead by MojoHost is ultimately going to pay dividents to HostHead clients. Today's outage is not a result of any errors or omissions on our part, rather, a result of the limitations that have always been present within HostHead (limited staff, inappropriate infrastructure) which we have inherited. We are working diligently on a scheduled timeline to move servers and clients from the Wisconsin datacenter to MojoHost. The critical issue tonight, however, is getting it back online altogether.
To answer lauralace's initial question, nobody is "being scammed". We have owned HostHead for more than a month and been providing support for nearly two. With regard to the billing, the descriptor would have historically read 'North Tone' then 'MojoHost' and this month 'HostHead'. With all of HostHead's network down, this prevents us from sending out client emails from their information systems, which, at this time, are wholly separate still from MojoHost until the transition is complete.
I will update this thread when we have secured a resolution.
Sincerely,
Brad Mitchell

Yup, blame a no-longer-existent entity to cover your ass. The quote "I never said it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you" comes to mind. A significant outage like this wouldn't have gone this long without communication had HH still been it's own entity. The ball was entirely dropped by Mojo.
How does not having access to the HostHead customer database (a valid reason for no mass-email) permit you to ignore tickets sent through the Mojo support channels? If MojoHost customers continued to receive quick support while the HostHead customers were ignored when they contacted the same Mojo support... then that is a sure sign of what you think of HostHead customers.
