If you have tried to access Postcrossing in the last 2 days, you might have been surprised to see that the site was down. And not only for a brief moment, but for almost 30 hours! This was probably the longest time Postcrossing was unavailable (we hated it too!).
But the good news is… we are back!
Unfortunately, our hosting provider had a serious technical problem that not only affected us, but also many other large websites. While they are still finishing fixing the issue, the worse seems to be over for us.
But, more important now, is that no data was lost and everything is resuming to where it was just before this outage. We do apologize for this unexpected blackout and we will be looking into ways to better protect ourselves from similar technical problems in the future.
Happy Postcrossing, everyone!
PS: Have you noticed we have already passed the 7 million postcards mark?! :D
