I lost over $12 in earnings from the time Gravity Search went down until it came back up. I have contacted the admin there, but no response. Has anyone else had this problem??

No..

I still have all of my money in my account..

Possibly he drained your account because he plans on sending payment soon..

my money is gone too, I did not have enough for payout...funny thing is the$.045 that my referral made is still there contacted them this morning..no response...

My account is short $12. I had over $60 in it. Why would he pay me only $12 out of $60? My whole point is that everytime a site goes down for whatever reason, it is a time for whoever runs the site to skim a little off the top. I won't mention names of programs or webmasters here, but this has happened to me plenty of times.

Perhaps other Hosting Servers have different ways of doing things or other circumstances. Not knowing the details, I can not comment with knowledgeable authority.
However, should a hosting server go down, and not have a Secondary Mirror to stand in it's place while component work is being done to repair it. then there should be a cirtain set of very few steps in order for anything and everything to go back.
1. The server has to come back "on line."
2. The Routing Table must be manually replaced for upstream providers -- usually about 30 minutes of typing in the routing table if done manually, 15 seconds if a backup copy is kept.
3. The Circuit iD ("often called the Last Mile of Service) has to clear -- again about 30 minutes.
4. The Virtual Domains under the Server need to be "checked" to see that they are still "resident" -- about 20 minutes with Ident Server.
5. The "upstream cache" has to be "flushed" to prevent old data from slowing down new and changed Net information.

There should be no "loss of data" on the server's hard drive. It's a hard drive just like any other computer. Compare it to a power outage and your computer has to do a "scan for errors" before rebooting. Really not that much on a server.

Other than that, unless some odd configurations are in the server, it's just like a street you drive on. It had a road block, the road block came down, then all traffic begins to flow again. A bti slow at first until the backlog catches up, but it should only be a couple of hours at most.

(IT-101) But then everyone just thinks I have opinions -- and everyone has a right to an opinion, IT-101 or not.
