Hurricane Rita threatens several major Transformers websites

Transformers News: Hurricane Rita threatens several major Transformers websites

Several of the most popular Transformers websites on the Internet are hosted with a company called EV1Servers.net that's based in Houston, Texas. I don't recall a serious Hurricane on the level of Hurricane Rita hitting the Houston area in the past 3 years that this site has been hosted with EV1Servers.net.

Several of the major Transformers related websites that are hosted with EV1Servers.net include:
  • SEIBERTRON.com
  • tfw2005.com
  • transfandom.com
  • bwtf.com

    Houston, Texas is approximately 27 miles from La Porte, Texas which is alongside the coast of the Trinity Bay and approximately 51 miles inland from Galveston, Texas which is alongside the Gulf of Mexico.

    Here is a message from Robert Marsh, the CEO of EV1Servers.net:

    Disaster planning is currently and has been underway for some time. Anytime we have a potential storm, we reassess our current level of readiness.

    Should the hurricane make a direct path for the upper Texas coast, we will operate our core services with a limited staff so that the bulk of our employees can be with their families.

    Employees will be on hand to handle emergency repairs and tickets. Routine tickets and upgrades will most probably have a delayed response.

    As an extra precaution, we have even sourced an additional rental generator. While this unit would not be needed for a brief outage, if we were top experience a loss of power lasting several days, we would need to perform normal maintenance on our generators, and this would give us a generator to run while that maintenance is taking place. Maintenance such as oil changes is required under our operating specifications every 100 to 150 hours, meaning that we would need to perform maintenance sometime after 4-5 days.

    All total, we have in excess of 10,000 gallons of fuel on site. We have guaranteed contracts for fuel delivery and two fuel depots are located within 2 miles of our facility.

    Our staff is working to ensure an uninterrupted continuity of service.

    While I am current attending to business out of town, I have made arrangements to return to Houston on Wednesday and will weather the storm with our employees in one of our facilities.

    We anticipate that the coming storm will have no impact on our operations. However, we are prepared to deal with any eventuality.

    Head Surfer Ev1servers.net



    While the stability of these Transformers websites in the wake of a Hurricane is nowhere near as serious a concern as is the safety of the people in the path of a hurricane, it is something that I wanted to bring to your attention and to the attention of the staff members of the other major TF sites. We would all be wise to make sure our data is backed up.
