Sitemeter Statistics Lost on Some Accounts
This was the news that greeted some Sitemeter account holders on Monday.
Our hosting provider's data center had some electrical issues which required them to relocate the servers to another data center. The servers have been moved and are fully operational. Unfortunately we are unable to provide statistics during this time period due to the extended power outage. We apologize for the inconvenience that this outage has caused and the inability to access your stats pages.
The “power outage” was a fire in a datacenter in Houston followed by an explosion, which had knocked down three walls surrounding the electrical equipment room.
If your account number is s24, s45 or s48 (hover over your Sitemeter logo to get an idea), check your statistics. You might find that they're reporting significantly less traffic than normal. Fortunately my account numbers are s18, s22 and s15 so I wasn't affected.
