Popular Web hosting-oriented community WebHostingTalk (aka WHT) has suffered a severe outage since yesterday, followed by the loss of all data posted since October 2008.

The fifth annual installment of WebhostingDay has kicked off in Bruehl, Germany and has already been the source of several great happenings and conference talks.

The meeting and networking event attracted several hundred participants and lasted well into the night. The beer and wine flowed freely, and the food served was among the best cuisine served at a trade event in my entire life.
