Is that all you get for your money?
This blog and other websites on rynosoft.com have been up and down today because of the CPS office move. CPS SEO network infrastructure including the server hosting rynosoft.com was moved last night but the DNS changes did not propagate until this morning. Sometime later in the morning, power to our network was turned off by the electrical contractors in order to install the proper plugs for our UPS units. The network wasn’t restored for a couple of hours and then the server got unplugged from the network a couple of times. Evidently, this all lead the DNS to re-propagate incorrectly and I was unable to access rynosoft.com until just a few minutes ago. Hopefully, the interruptions are over.
