To keep the contents of this topic clean, clear and concise, we ask that you carefully read the [Outage Communication Rules](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/read-first-outage-communication-rules/46444) before posting. In a nutshell: - Please keep the posts about the outage in this topic, and all posts not about this outage outside of this topic. - Please post relevant questions only that have not been answered yet. It may be compelling to ask obvious questions like “when will this be fixed”, but basic information like that will be put in this message as soon as we know it. - Please carefully check the known symptoms and affected components. - If you are on the affected components, you are almost certainly affected by the outage. If so, please refrain from simply stating you are affected, it does not help get your service back up faster. - If you are not on the affected components but do experience _all_ of the symptoms, please say so below so we can check if our list is incomplete. - If you do not experience all listed issues and are not on the components that are known to be affected, the issue you are experiencing is most likely not related to this outage. If so, please create a new topic in the Hosting Support category and describe the issue there. - If you say you are affected by the outage, please _always include your website URL_. I can’t check if you are affected by the outage if you don’t say which of your websites is affected. **Posts that do not follow these rules may be deleted without warning**. This is to help ensure that all the relevant information is easily available to everyone reading this topic. ---

Your files are not missing, and they are definitely not gone. They are still on the old storage cluster and will be migrated soon. Just have patience, you’ll have access to your files again soon. ---

My site is on hosting volume 17\_1 and is still returning a 404 with no files present. I can re-upload the files, but I don’t want to do that until I’m confident the problem is actually resolved.

I checked your account and it looks like the folder of your account is indeed empty. My best guess at this time is that something may have gone wrong during the migration and caused your files not to be migrated. I can have someone check for you if it’s still possible to move your files over. But if you have a copy of the files yourself, it should be safe to upload those instead. ---

I’m combining both outage topics into one topic with more information on the current state. If you have any questions, please ask them there. > [@FTP Errors, Missing Files, and Websites Showing Connection Refused](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/ftp-errors-missing-files-and-websites-showing-connection-refused/69043): > > FTP Errors, Missing Files, and Websites Showing Connection Refused This topic is to merge the two related current outage topics from [here](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/ftp-errors-missing-files-and-websites-showing-connection-refused/68902) and [here](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/stability-issues-on-multiple-servers-new-accounts-most-affected/67971). Starting early November, several servers got overloaded with new accounts, causing a lot of stress on these servers. Because these servers were still using an older HDD-based storage cluster, instead of the newer SSD-based cluster that’s powering most websites nowadays, the storage could not keep up causing a lot of impact to all sites hosted on the… ---
