One of the smtp servers currently is being investigated.
Please set your outgoing mail client specifically too:
smtp1.34sp.com - Personal Accounts
or

We hope to have both functioning again shortly at which time please revert back to smtp.

We are presently investigating a failure on the server1 reseller server.
The machine has become unreachable and has been power cycled. We are now waiting for the machine to boot back up.
8.46PM. The server has come back to the network level. We expect full services to be restored soon and will investigate the cause further.
9.14PM The server has failed and is being power cycled again.
9.28PM Server1 back online.
9.39PM Failure once more. An engineer is now on route to check the system. As a precautionary measure the server will be left offline until physical inspection.
11.25PM server1 back online. We are looking at possible over heating issues on this unit presently.
00:00: Earlier this evening our datacentre experienced an extremely rare fault with their air conditioning systems that affected the cabinet temperature, hosting server1.
The issue has since been fixed and server1 has also been moved to a cooler cabinet just in case. The system has been stable for some time and now shows a stable acceptable temperature.

The migration to the new queeg server has been slightly delayed.
We are presently testing a backup of data from the old to new queeg servers and all being well, will commence a final backup Wednesday (08/11/06) afternoon.
This should mean the final migration of data to the new queeg server should be complete by late Wednesday evening or just into the small hours of Thursday am.
The final synchronisation of database content after the migration will mean 20-30 minutes downtime for your site at this time.
The FTP service and siteadmin area have been taken offline on the queeg server to minimize any changes that may take place during the migration process.
Update 09/11/06 00:05 Data migration is taking far longer than we first anticipated due to the state of the old queeg server. The migration continues and is expected to complete today.
09/11/06 23:00 All queeg services are offline for the final stage of the migration to a new server
09/11/06 23:50 The migration is now complete. All data has been moved to a new more powerful dual xeon server.

We are pleased to announce .uk registrations, renewals and Nameserver updates are all working fine.
This issue has now been resolved at 09:42
--------------
We have been informed by our registrar EASYSPACE that there is a technical issue between TUCOWS and NOMINET. As a result .co.uk domains registered last week may as yet be unregistered. If your domain name is not registered please let us know at support@34sp.com and we will expedite the registration for you. These will all be checked on Monday and registered. We are also unable to update the nameservers on .uk domains at this time as a result of this issue.
Please accept our apologies on behalf of EASYSPACE, TUCOWS and NOMINET for this problem.
We are assured these 3 parties will have this issue resolved at the start of next week.

The latest news just in is that a Major core Network issue has occurred at Level(3) and this is effecting the UK and Dublin.
We will keep you updated.
-------
Our network is now back however routing is slow. As a result all services may have limited availability. This is affecting many web hosts at the moment and seems to be a global Level (3) issue and we are hoping to find out more from our provider as soon as possible.
--------
We are currently looking into an issue that appears to be affecting access to our systems.
This has been identified and confirmed by our providers as a problem with Level(3), our main bandwidth provider. Level(3) staff are working to correct this fault as quickly as possible but are unable to provide an ETA at this stage.
The problem has now been corrected. We will post information here on the cause of the problem once we have received this from our suppliers.
