Anyone trying to access this site or my PodLeaders site today between around 12:54 GMT and 13:14 GMT would have seen a screen somewhat like the one below.
My hoster told me when I rang them that they were ‘working on it’ but didn’t tell me what ‘it’ was!
This is the second time in just over a week that this has happened – not very confidence inspiring!
UPDATE:
My hoster has been back on to me to tell me that the problem is that my site is hosing the server! We’re tying to work out why now.
Further update:
The site has been up and down (mostly down) for most of the afternoon. Hopefully my hosters will get this sorted asap.

Our technical team have been working on the issue for most of the afternoon. All services have been restored, but may be slower than normal.

Maybe you should consider moving to a more reliable host?

Ed – due to issues with my site – I only saw this comment now – it was never mailed to me (I wonder how many other comments I have missed).
Hopefully the issue has been resolved, my domains have been moved to another box.
Thanks,
Tom

Looks like MySQL server problem to me. Are you on a VPS? Normally a restart solves such issues.
It was a problem at the hoster’s end certainly Angsuman – I never got the full details but my sites have been migrated to another server and they seem to be ok now
[…] I had a couple of hosting issues a week or so ago which got me to thinking (worrying!) about backing up the content of this blog. […]
