    Our host Staminus is having problems with a fiber outage, they have been trying to fix it for the past twelve hours. There unfortunately is nothing we can do to speed up this process. We know how frustrating downtime can be, we are just as frustrated as you guys, the server will be back up as soon as possible.

    After twelve hours, both their website and our servers are still offline. It was my understanding that our servers were being hosted at a Tier 3 data center, which means redundancy is required (Duplication of critical components as a form of backup). We are thinking about switching to another host, as this is simply unacceptable. We were already dissatisfied with Staminus for other reasons I don't want to go into detail about (Support and over sensitive DDoS protection).

    End of rant

    Update #4:
    We have migrated to another host, this should improve uptime and performance.

    Update #3:
    Server is back up!

    Update #2:
    Looks they finally found the issue after 24 hours, now to wait till they actually fix it.. Remember, this issue shouldn't even have happened as they claim to be a Tier 3 data center, which requires redundancy.

    Update #1:
    At this point, we know just as little as everybody else. Staminus' website is down and the only form of communication is their Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaminusComm

    12 hours for downtime in a paid service is rather unacceptable.

    I had been wondering what the down time was about. Thanks for the update. So much easier knowing, or at least partially knowing what's wrong. And yes, this is not the first time I have heard people complaining about Staminus. That is totally unacceptable on their account, as it is very shoddy work, especially when dealing other people's servers, and customer base.

    Thanks for letting us know. I'm sorry about the whole thing for you. I have an idea of how frustrating this stuff can be. I hope you get it all done soon for your sake. Good luck with the whole thing!

    You should still have it because (I believe) that donations and stuff like that are stored in some database the moment you buy it, so you should be good.

    It should do as its stored on your computer and if you go to players in you MC Server folder it will come up with e.g NSE466(fgt).dat and there it stores your saves so once he changes host if it does not transfer he can copy and paste it over :P if that makes sense! :D

    No worries, your purchase will be processed once the server is back up.

    Well, we would have to spend $10000 on just the machines then
