The “elzar” Web server will be restarted at 10 PM Pacific time tonight (February 25). This will cause a five-minute interruption of Web and e-mail service for customers on that server.
Other servers will not be affected, and incoming mail will only be delayed, not lost.
This restart is necessary to fix a memory problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Update 10:03 PM: The maintenance was completed with less than 3 minutes downtime.
Our business offices will be closed on Monday, February 21 to observe the US legal holiday. As always, we’ll provide same-day support for time-sensitive issues via our ticket and e-mail systems. However, questions that aren’t time-sensitive (including most billing matters) may not be answered until the next day, and telephone support (via callbacks) will be available only for urgent problems.
Beginning mid-day yesterday (Sunday February 6th), we received reports from a small number of customers that connections to our data center were slow. This was traced to a problem with a combination router/Ethernet switch in a cabinet in our data center corrupting some packets of data. The router has been replaced and the problem resolved.
