After spending a lot of time in data centers I can understand that sometimes things go “boom”.
Maybe it’s time to platform on vmware or go to the cloud? It is possible to get to where things are almost unbreakable or very easy to set back in place.
If it’s a matter of money maybe a fundraiser with $$$ earmarked for upgrading might be in order. Or, start using the site for advertising of some kind.
It’s great that things are back and running.
The problem is not lack of money lol
