Several prohost servers require critical updates for security and performance. Those needing these will require a quick reboot meaning web services will be down for 10-15 mins. We shall begin this shortly. Email services will be unaffected.

We are still having issues with the Mercury email platform. Affected users will see intermittent problems in connecting to their mailboxes at times of peak load.
The fault is being caused due a load issue on one of our back end disk arrays. We have deployed additional capacity but this has not solved the issue. We are now working directly with the vendor of the storage system for a speedy fix.
We have attempted multiple various remedies but so far none have corrected the issue.
We are continuing to work exclusively on this issue as our top priority, but do not have an ETA at this time. Please note our support team do not have any additional information beyond this status post.
This fault only affects users of Mercury whose email is stored on a particular pool of disks. Users of Atmail and Mercury mailboxes stored on different disk pools are not affected by this fault.

Some customers have been reporting time outs in accessing email, whilst some have had issues navigating the control panel or using the one click installers.
These seem to be very sporadic, and lasting only a few moments at a time. Engineers are monitoring systems in real time to try and ascertain where the glitch lies.
If you do experience any issues which are described above, do please try again after a few moments. We will continue to monitor and post an update once further details come to light.

Engineers are carrying out container reboots after a recent update which requires a restart to take full effect. Containers will normally be offline for a matter of seconds during the reboot.
External monitoring scripts may pick up the reboot and report as an outage.
