Has anyone had any trouble with your databases today?
I am in a panic. We have about 30 databases in our account and today every single one has just vanished!!!!!!!!:confused:

ALL of our blogs, forums, wikis, etc are gone! My account is showing a ZERO in databases used. I have no idea what happened.

Can anyone enlighten me on what is going on?

I'm guessing that your account is being moved to a new server. Contact BH via Live Chat to find out what's happening.

It's also possible that there's a problem on your server. Check http://serverstatus.bluehost.com, and enter your domain name. Also check the Control Panel, and click the Service Status link at the bottom of the left-hand column. In one of those two places, you might get some indication of what's going on.

Whew! thanks. They must have been moving them because one by one they all came back. I have not had that happen before and I was in a major panic :o

Today's task...backing up all databases!

Yeah, the last time they moved my site I had one of those "Hey! Where did all my files go?" moments. :eek:

Take a look at the Server Name in the left-hand column of your Control Panel. It's always a good idea to know which box you're on.

It is more likely that MySQL was down when you checked initially. There weren't any server conversions scheduled (or otherwise) for last night/ this morning.
