Site is down

This may be because dotPhoto uses Amazon's S3 servers, which can, but rarely experience access outages. Even so, your data is backed up in multiple data centers. Amazon notes that its S3 service "is designed to deliver 99.999999999% durability, and scale past trillions of objects worldwide." By "durability," Amazon means that the data is durable, though perhaps temporarily not accessible.


The longest outage we have experienced is four hours.
