uk2-217x144A few days ago we wrote about UK2′s email migration failure. In the article we quoted Martin Baker, UK2′s Managing Director saying “We’re at the tail end of moving the emails across and should be done in no more than 24 hours.” That statement was from November 12th.

Today, almost a week later, The Register reported that the problems are far from over. Apparently the problem is so severe that UK2 cannot even provide their clients with an ETA for when the problem will be resolved.

uk2-217x144For the last few days, major web hosting service UK2.net has been suffering an outage that has taken its hosted e-mail service offline.  On November 12, 2009, managing director Martin Baker assured UK2.net’s customers, “We’re at the tail end of moving the emails across and should be done in no more than 24 hours.”  The failure was caused by a technical glitch when the company attempted to migrate e-mails to different server.  The migration failure has left UK2.net’s customers without e-mail, frustrating many and costing customers (especially business customers) money.

The outage began last week, and it was reportedly caused by hardware issues.
