TowleTech V.32A series of power outages in San Francisco caused a massive web host to completely lose power for an hour Tuesday, taking down huge sites like Craigslist, Technorati, Typepad, Second Life, and many others. The outage, you may have noticed, also affected Towleroad. The power was restored in less than an hour, but it took all day for some sites to get back to fully-functioning. Since commercial-grade data centers promote themselves as having lots of back-up power solutions for extreme cases like this one, the failure was baffling. 365 Main, the faulty data center, says they are continuing to investigate what caused the total failure.

The reason for the discrepancy was unclear.
