If you happened to bump into PSD Vault between 10:00PM 31/01/09 to 14:00PM 01/02/09 Australian Eastern Standard time, you will see an extremely unfriendly message says:

“This account has been suspended, please contact sales/support immediately.”

Trust me, I nearly got a heart-attack when I saw this message myself this morning.

Thank goodness now everything is back to normal. But please allow me to offer my sincere apology to any inconvience/unhappiness this may cause, and let me explain the mystery behind psdvault.com’s 16hrs downtime.

1. Ok firstly I tried to install this plugin (no offence to the designer of this plugin, but it just doesn’t work for me) for PSD Vault, however the installation was proved to be fatal and resulting the crash of my database.
2. Then the whole server got affected and my hosting company has to act quickly and suspend my account. This is a reasonable action of course, but I started to think about
3. I manage to contact the technical support and was granted temporary access to my site (only for 30 minutes), however it was enough to remove deactivate that plugin and reinstall Wordpress.
4. Problem solved and the site went back on!!!!

Well that was it, I guess it’s just part of life, hopefully I won’t have it again :)

Btw, I’m wondering how many of you have been through this sort of problem before?
