The web hosting and one of the other email hosting services seems to have simply vanished some time ago, a few years after we had a similar issue where it vanished from the bills and I caught on to the fact the bill was way lower than it should have been. I think because it is a small client on shared and very much obsolete infrastructure, nobody ever noticed... The webserver is still running Apache 2.2.16, which went EOL years ago.

There is also a web and domain hosting arrangement which seems to have vanished, although the service obviously still exists. Interestingly this isn't the first time this has happened either, but being such a small thing nobody ever really noticed.

I suspect Monday will be rather interesting if I have to try and work my way through the contact centres to figure out where it has all gone!

I'm fairly sure an email server hosting a client of mine has been forgotten about and has managed to run out of disk space, and I can't seem to get hold of anyone who recognises it actually exists...
