MYSQLV1 Database Issue on November 18, 2008
November 19th, 2008 | 
Author: There have been many Internet searches associated with yesterday’s Network Solutions database problem. At about 1730 yesterday 11/18/08 users of the UBB bulletin board at PopularWireless.com were greeted with an SQL error. A database cache table was read only. Yikes! Here at dougweb I could see that some functions in WordPress were not working properly including posting.
I put a call in to Network Solutions and luckily for me the contractors in the Philippines were not answering the help desk telephone. Now I’m a Gold VIP customer. All that has meant so far is that I am offered more and more ways to spend my money EVEN when reporting down time. None of the promises like periodic updates of help desk requests ever came true. It was interesting that they were prepping customers to receive calls from a company surveying customers on service issues. A recording said I might get a call.
In four to five hours the service came back but remains a little sluggish today. How is your blog? How did the down time affect your website?

Two days later I received this. Not sure why they bothered since Gold VIP customers are supposed to be updated the same day:
