Endore.com, the people who hosted xenius' files, have gone out of business. Instead of telling the hundreds of people who used their services to come and get their files, or giving them even 10 minutes of notice, they simply shut down their servers.



What this means, and I'm really terribly sorry, it seems that unless you have back-ups of your files, they are lost. This is the type of thing one couldn't imagine any web hosting business would do. This is the absolute worst offense.
I was always hesitant to back up people's files on Xenius, because I felt it was a violation of privacy. Unless someone asked me to do something for them, I just did not involve myself with them in any way.

I became unbearably sad this morning as I tried to get my email from xenius and instead a Yahoo search page loaded. On it were dozens of entries from people at xenius, or other sites who had pictures or text hosted at xenius. Aquarium-tips.com, 80sexchange, Daisy's photogallery. This is so horrible, and we're not the only ones it happened to. There are hundreds of people out there who suffered the same issue. This is just catastrophic.

If there is any good news to come out of this, it is that I learned a hell of a lot developing Xenius and dealing with the problems, even if they were few and far between. It's certainly not over. Today I am reassigning getting the DNS servers to point at 1and1's servers when someone types xenius.org into their browsers.

And, if anyone cares to come by xenius again, I will make hard copies of people's sites at their request, so that I can be of service in the event that something goes wrong. This I think is where my fault lies. Xenius.org wil be hosted soon. Possibly as early as tonight or as late as next week, given the propogation of DNS server info.
