Web site down

I downloaded Chrome - the new Google browser - because I wanted to see what the web site looked like. I got an error 403 message when I hit the site. Hmmmm.

Of course my first thought was that Chrome was to blame, but when I tried it on Firefox and IE6 and got the same result, I realized it was my hosting service.

I sent them an email and they quickly replied:
Our system administrators are currently carrying out a server maintenance on the machine where your account is hosted on.
They will have it upgraded to a more reliable system that will hopefully cause less trouble.
The upgrade should be over after 12-15 hours.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
"more reliable system that will hopefully cause less trouble."
Hmmm.
