Site's Back Up - and An Explanation

Sorry about the site hiccough. I personally apologize. Here's the explanation, for those interested.

As Cocky Dagger indicated here, BlueHost.com has been iron-fisted lately with overuse of resources... something that probably seems familiar given Linden Lab's recent Open Space server issues within Second Life. Yesterday, I got an email (as described here) and responded to it immediately. But it was already too late to assure continuance of service.

After working my way through the anger phase, I looked through the logs and found that there had been 1 error a day for the last month as related to the database - and this had to do with aggregation from other sites. This, I have found, is problematic with Drupal when on shared hosting - so I needed the site re-enabled to disable the module. You can imagine how easy that was to explain. I can too. Because I don't think I actually did.

So - two tickets later into Customer Service, the site is now back up.

And yes, I am working toward this being avoided in the future. It may be time for a dedicated server.
