To Verio shared hosting customers:
Many of our shared hosting customers have been impacted by Hurricane Wilma's effects in the south Florida area. Our Boca Raton data center facility did experience power loss this morning, and backup generators, which were tested just four days ago and found to be working properly, are not operational at this time. At this time, we have proactively powered down servers to minimize impact to our shared servers located in the Boca Raton data center. We will restore these servers once power comes back online. In the meantime, we are aggressively working with the local power company to assess when power will be restored, and we are working with the building facilities management to restore service to backup generators as well. We will continue to provide updates and any time estimates on this site as we have them.
Thank you for your patience during this time. We understand the impact of this action to your business, and the Verio Disaster Recovery team is diligently working to have power and service restored as quickly as possible.
