TPM Reader RB chimes in on the Joe website mystery …
I own a web hosting company (***********.com) that uses the same software as the Lieberman site. That screenshot that the Lamont folks grabbed is a standard automated warning from a website control panel known as “Cpanel”. Most large webhosts host many thousands of domains and their systems are automated. If a bill goes unpaid, or bandwidth is exceeded by a specified amount, the site gets auto-suspended and that Cpanel page replaces the index page. It’s possible that the site was suspended for exceeding their bandwidth allotment as opposed to not paying their bills, but for someone like Joe Lieberman to
not have his ducks in a row on the night before an election like this is quite telling.
Other knowledgeable emailers suggest the same possibility — not that Joe folks necessarily forgot to pay their bill but that they tripped some bandwidth or server load limit and hadn’t made arrangements in advance to keep the site online if this happened.
