All,
The website was down for a few hours sleeping today. I appologize for the inconvience. 000webhost too it offline for an unkown reason... Literly I asked they don't know. Hopefully it does not happen again, but I will keep looking into it.

Thanks.

I snooped around a bit online while this was happening last night. I found a couple of possibilities:

1) Hostinger's explanation is here. Seems their services were targeted by a DDOS attack.

2) That said, free-hosted services get put to sleep for one hour every day so Hostinger can save on bandwidth.

I wasn't sure which it was, but your explanation seems to indicate that this wasn't the normal 1-hours sleep time. When does that usually take place, Rider?

I am unable to find the sleep window. I had it set for an hour in the middle of the night. But Kat I went to check I couldn't find anything on it. I don't think they do it anymore

Thanks for checking in. I thought it was some sort of host-update thing. Too coincidental to occur on the eve of a holiday.
