Sorry. Just a question : what actions can be taken in a case like that against the host ?

Your Web server is effectively 'closed for repair'. It is still functioning minimally because it can at least respond with a 503 status code, but full service is impossible i.e. your Web site is simply unavailable.

This is in this case false. The server does not work at all. I tried to ping the server and it didn't answered at all. Launch the MS-DOS commands (if you are under Win2000) and type : "ping www.wapod.com".
You will get a "Unknown host" error. Normally, even if the server does not answer, you get an information saying you have lost all the packets and indicating the IP of the server.

That's what I'm getting out here on the west coast sof Canada.

Why don't you try Host Europe?

I use them, and have never had a problem...

Hope the site comes back up soon *crosses fingers*

I suppose it depends on the situation. If you are hosting a personal site and its a reoccuring issue, you can either bite the bullet and accept that your hosting isn't overly reliable or ask for a refund and take your business elsewhere. If the site being hosted is a commercial site, where maximum uptime is required, if the host goes down for an unreasonable about of time, causing you a loss in business I suppose you can take legal action.

Of course all hosts go down every now and then.

Jestah

Gotta say it doesn't look like your host is having issues, I'm getting bad hostname issues, looks like DNS

Sooner or later, all hosts suck indeed. This 99.9999% uptime advertisement is always fallacious. I have only a few but important tips: (1) never pay a whole year in advance, pay monthly; if you lose money, you lose a lot less and the discount is get for paying anually is not worth the risk; (2) choosing a cheap host means that your chances of having problems are much bigger; (3) if your site is for business and you will lose money if it goes down for a while, never choose a cheap host; (4) finally, never expect to have a perfect host because they have humans taken care of them and they have Linux/Unix/Windows/Apache etc. software running on them, that are also made by humans and humans are far from perfect creatures.
I use a cheap host ($10/month) because I lose nothing if my whole site goes down.
