YWS crashed at approximately 11pm GMT January 23, and again at 12:30 am GMT January 24. Unfortunately, I have no information at this time regarding what caused the crash. The first happened when I fell asleep while watching American Restoration, and the second happened while I was eating dinner. I don't know if the problem was on YWS' end or on our hosting provider's end.

However, I suspect it's the latter. I've reviewed the server logs, and there was no unusual activity at the time of the crash. Plus, the first crash was displaying a HTTP 500 error (internal server error), which would mean something went wrong with the server itself rather than with the website.

Anyways, we're switching hosting providers in a couple weeks:
