Down (from Germany, at least)

Weird, probably a DNS-related issue. Investigating.
*edit*
Hm, probably there’s nothing to be done for me. Seems to be working fine from the US. Hope it will fix itself. Will doublecheck everything anyway.

Up again

As far as I can see, everything is up and running now. Since this is a completely new environment, I cannot be completely sure though. Please let me know if you find anything that doesn’t work.

Currently down, will be right back up

Lookpicking.com is down right now, explanation soon to follow. Will be up in a few minutes, and faster than ever.
*EDIT*
Ok, now while the new DNS entries are distributed, let me quickly explain what happened: I was planning the perfect transition to a new, better host, Mosso/Slicehost/Rackspace. It was scheduled for today, since I have payed my old host for a period that ends today. Not yesterday, I have payed for a year on the 18th of April last year. So my old host apparently decides to drop my account one day early. Well, this means that I have to use yesterday’s database backups. Everything from then on is lost, I’m sorry about that. Also, we have this stupid downtime. Apologies for that, too. But there is hope: I have tried the site on the new server, and it’s much faster. It is probably also going to be less expensive for me. To conclude, there is a ton of other reasons to favor Mosso over Hostingrails, but I wont go into all the dirty details. Just trust me. Or ask me.

Everything seems to be up and running.
