The Planet is a dedicated server hosting provider which operates six large data centers in Texas. One of their Houston-based data centers suffered from a fire (http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20570844-Fire-at-the-Planet) last night which has left all servers there temporarily down which means that approximately 7,500 customers can t access their websites. One of those customers is Entrecard, a popular social networking and advertising service for bloggers. The fire apparently didn t do any actual damage to the servers but caused the power to go out which took out the service. As of this morning, they don t have an estimated time of repair but are providing hourly updates to customers here (http://forums.theplanet.com/index.php?showtopic=90185).
