SnapMonkey servers down due to citywide power outage

Posted in snapmonkey

You may be wondering why SnapMonkey is down, and why your SnapMonkey website is not working.  There is a citywide power outage due to an underground explosion just a block from the building where our servers are located in VanCouver Canada.  The fire is impacting one of the main internet hubs on the West Coast

Our servers are located at The Harbour Centre data center at PEER 1.  PEER 1 has been advised by the Harbour Centre building that BC Hydro will restore power at approximately 3pm PST.

Although backup power for our servers have kicked in, there is not an internet connection currently available to those servers until the city lifts the power outage.

You can read more about the fire here:

Please know that all the information on your websites remain safe and secure, and your website will be running normally once the citywide power outage has been lifted.
