The site was down tonight between around midnight until 8:30 h in the morning, due to a hardware failure. The power supply had to be replaced and consequently the host was down for some time without prior notice.

Unfortunately, the app server is not started automatically at boot time yet, so I had to start it manually again this morning. I should really look into using something like supervisord to control the CherryPy process.

Apologies for the downtime, I hope that if this happens again, I can give a proper notice in advance.

Doesn’t your server have backup UPS ? Mine was down for two days and I filed a complaint, so I got 50% off my monthly webhosting bill. Maybe you should try this too.
