Network Congestion (N/A)

resolved

Description

Update at 16:38:17(GMT): We have not seen a recurrence of this issue, so we're marking this outage as resolved.



Update at 17:18:46(GMT): We have isolated this as a DDoS attack targeting one of our Business hosting servers (or a site there-on).

We are in contact with our providers to help mitigate this. For now, the traffic appears to have subsided.


We're aware of a problem affecting our network, resulting in slow connections/time outs.

We're trying to resolve this as quickly as possible.

Xenserve4 Issues (server4.xenserve.com)

resolved

Description

Update at 17:19:09(GMT): This outage is now marked as resolved.

Update at 21:10:26(GMT): A outdated installation of osCommerce appears to be the cause of the grief. We've made a quick fix and will be contacting the owner of the domain to arrange for a more permanent resolution.

Server4 has been unfortunately disconnected from the network whilst we work on preventing an exploit in someone's website.

The exploit has been used maliciously to flood our network with packets, which we are working to put a stop to as soon as we possibly can.

Prohost6 Essential Updates (prohost6.34sp.com)

resolved

Description

Update at 22:46:26(GMT): The issue has now been resolved with this server.Prohost6 back up and running again after a successful update.



Similar to last night's maintenance to prohost10 & 11, it has become apparent that Prohost6 also requires some updates that unfortunately require a reboot to take effect.

We hope to have this completed within 15-20 minutes -- e-mail will not be affected.

Prohost10 & Prohost11 Essential Updates (prohost10.34sp.com/prohost11.34sp.com)

resolved

Description

Update at 21:53:14(GMT): The issue has now been resolved with this server.Prohost11 now done. All updates completed successfully.

Update at 21:47:18(GMT): Prohost10 now done. Prohost11 to do.

We're having to give each of Prohost10 & Prohost11 an impromptu reboot.

This should be no more than 5-10 minutes downtime (websites & databases only) per machine.

Whilst a regrettable course of action, this is unfortunately required to maintain the high quality of service & security that we expect from our hosting environments.

resolved

Update at 14:14:00(GMT): This outage is now marked as resolved.



Update at 12:30:45(GMT): Server4 is now back up and running again. We're double-checking that all is OK following the outage and have also fixed an issue that prevented the machine from booting cleanly by itself.

Furthermore we will be monitoring this machine for a short while longer to ensure that a similar issue does not occur.


Update at 11:35:37(GMT): We can only apologise for the delays in resolving this issue - the on-site Engineers have begun working and we are pushing to have this resolved as quickly as possible.


Update at 10:24:36(GMT): We are currently unable to regain control of the machine remotely -- as this machine is located within our London facility, we have requested that an Engineer on-site attend to help resolve this issue.

We apologise for the obvious inconvenience caused and hope to have server4 back up and running soon.


We're aware that there is an outage of xenserve4. We're attempting to resolve this as quickly as we can.

We appreciate your patience during this period.
