Wednesday Night No Reserve --- IMPORTANT UPDATE
Due to a network outage at various data centers, the Wednesday No Reserve auction will be postponed tonight and all items will be carried over to next week's Wednesday Night No Reserve (April 23rd, 2014).
Whitetail Exchange's Web Servers resides at one of the effected data centers. The system wide outage began around 1:30pm today. The data centers have most of the servers and clients up and running, however, a large percent of the dedicated servers are still down.
If you have any questions on how the auctions will be transferred over to next week, please contact Todd Morgan at 269-207-0624.
We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Associated Press Release:
BlueHost and HostGator have been hit by an outage on Wednesday. According to HostGator, router issues in its Provo, UT, data center are to blame. It appears that the issues began around 11 am ET this morning.
While it is unclear how many customers have been impacted by Wednesday's outage, some BlueHost VPS customers are unable to access their accounts, and the issue is affecting customers of HostGator's dedicated servers as well. The outage is also affecting BlueHost's own sites, including its help.bluehost.com support site. Support.hostgator.com appears to be loading though and HostGator is updating customers on its support forum.
"Our NetOps team is still working to resolve an issue with a router and working to restore services for all affected customers," Sean Valant, PR manager for HostGator said in the forum post. "Some sites are coming back online, though we appreciate everyone's patience as we work through the issue. As we get more information, we'll continue to provide updates here on the forums till everyone affected has their service restored."
Customers are reporting issues in contacting BlueHost support as well because its live chat and phone support are down. The company is using its Twitter @bluehostsupport and Facebook to update customers at this time. HostGator has also cited issues with chat and phone support due to volumes.
As of 3 pm ET, BlueHost Support assured customers on Twitter that its engineers have identified the problem and its admins are working to resolve the issue. BlueHost or HostGator haven't provided an ETA for a full resolution of the issue but will be updating customers with details of the outage.
