[UNSDB] Regarding the status of the UN Spacy Database (www.unspacy.de)

Hi everybody,

this is Burn, the Webmaster of the UNSDB.

I received quite a few questions concerning the current downtime of the
UNSDB. Questions more or less like this:

> I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble getting into the
> UN SPACY DATABASE site of late, as i have been trying to get in for a few
> days and the site seems to be down, or is it just me?

Here is the deal: The domain name www.unspacy.de is just the entry to the
homepage. 99% of the data is stored on http://unspacy.sdf1.net. So the Flash
intro works because it is stored on the .de domain, the rest may not work
when sdf1.net is down.

The folks at sdf1.net quite frequently seem to have problems of some sort. I
know that  sort of sucks (also for me with 130+ visitors a day) but since
they give me all this huge amount of webspace for free, who am I to
complain?

I am happy that I have the opportunity to use the webspace at sdf1.net, even
if the uptime is interrupted by downtime every now and then. I mean, over 1
GB of downloads with some downtime is still better than going back to 20
Megs (the amount I started out with), right?

So, I apologize for the downtime, but I think until the problems at sdf1.net
are solved we will have to live with that.

Thanks for understanding.

Burn
