Server NC020 rebooted

17 May 2011 14:24:16 +0000

We have rebooted server NC020 and everything is fine now. We suspect one of the websites hosted on this server received a lot of traffic within the last hour or so — more than the server could handle. We’re still looking at all of the logs and will determine whether or not that was the case and post more here when we have all of the information.

Hardware upgrade on server NC018

3 September 2010 21:36:09 +0000

To improve the performance of server NC018 and to address recent issues with this server, we will be adding more RAM to the server during our weekly maintenance window this weekend.

Server NC018 will be taken offline at approximately 19:00 UTC on Saturday, 4 September during this process, and will be offline for 30-45 minutes.

During this time, any inbound email destined for your account will be held on the sending mail servers until server NC018 is online again, at which time it will be delivered. No email will be lost.

If you have any questions or concerns about this maintenance, please contact NinerNet support. Thanks for your patience.
