Maybe all 100,000 sellers tried to hit the site to list in anticipation of the dealtime thingy coming into play.

Hello All,
I'd like to first apologize for not having the site available and also for not providing an update sooner. In hindsight, this was mistake. Our site went offline on friday night december 6 due to an attack of two financial websites sharing our server ( so our past hosting company says).
After a swarm of emails from me and my staff over the weekend right up until yesterday tuesday, tech support is still not forthcoming with the company's reasonning for shutting down all of the non affected sites for so long.
As of this morming i've decided to move AuctionCounter to another server at a new hosting service to prevent this situation again. The site should be up and running again by the weekend at the latest. None of our user information was ever at risk or compromised, our site was just disabled by the hosting company.
I appreciate all of your concerns and interest in AuctionCounter.com
Incidently our feed is on schedule for delivery by the 15th.
