I'm glad EU server is operational. I won't be bashing Voxalot since I'm using the service for free, and Am grateful for what it offers. I am also grateful for the community here which helped me settle in.
I think the biggest mistake committed is - Vox administrators should have modified the A records for eu.voxalot.com to point to one of their US server's IP address, considering there are two servers available in the US, they sure would've handled the burden until the moments of adversity with LeaseWeb pass. Had the administration done that there would have been:
a) Zero downtime. No complaints no fuss.
b) People wouldn't be running reckless trying to reconfigure their hardware at remote places of the world.
c) It surely would have avoided the risque.
d) 90% of the folks wouldn't have even found out about it at all.
e) Switch back to the European IP server immediately after the predicament with LeaseWeb is solved.
Certainly this could have gone a lot smoother, but I'm sure Vox management has learned from this bad experience and such "disaster" will not befall on us again.
