At approximately 11:00 PM Pacific time on Saturday, January 31, all of our Web hosting servers (except the “hypnotoad” and “mom” servers) will be restarted. As a result, Web site and e-mail service for some customers will be unavailable for approximately five minutes.
No e-mail will be lost, of course; incoming mail will just be delayed for a few minutes.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This maintenance is necessary to install an updated “kernel” on our servers, as described in an earlier maintenance announcement.
Update: the maintenance was successfully completed on all servers with less than 5 minutes of “downtime”.
At 11:00 PM Pacific time tonight (January 26), the “mom” server will be restarted. As a result, Web sites and e-mail service for customers using that server will be unavailable for approximately five minutes.
Other servers will not be affected. And no e-mail will be lost, of course; incoming mail will just be delayed for a few minutes.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We’ve updated our servers with a Perl security bug fix and a Ruby security update.
The updates fix only security bugs, and customers should not notice any changes in how the Perl or Ruby programming languages work.
To celebrate the new year, we’re offering a special deal: a full year of Web hosting service for $20.09. That’s a 76% savings over the standard price of $83.40!
Our Web hosting plan includes e-mail accounts, free domain name registration, and free WHOIS privacy (an option that often costs $8.99 or more elsewhere). Get the full details here.
This offer is available for a limited time only, for new accounts or transfers only — so sign up now if you’re in the market for Web hosting service!
This plan is still eligible for our Referral Rewards program (you’ll get 33% of the $20.09). So if you have friends who need hosting service, be sure to let them know about this special offer.
Update Jan 23: this special offer has concluded. Welcome to our new customers!
We’ve redesigned our Web site to have a clean, less-cluttered appearance. The changes you’ll notice are:
- The most frequently used links now appear at the top of every page on our site.
- We’ve added a search box at the top of every page. The search box finds content from our support pages and blog posts. You can also use it to search for available domain names.
- The “Customer Login” link text was changed to “My Account”.
- The main graphic on our home page has a large button that takes you to the first page of the signup process.
We hope you like our new look and find it easier to use!
