Per our previous blog post, three of our servers will be updated to address variants 1 and 2 of the Spectre vulnerability per the following schedule (start times) in chronological order:
NC027: 23:00 UTC on Tuesday 1 May 2018(DONE)- NC031: 05:00 UTC on Wednesday 2 May 2018
- NC023: 20:00 UTC on Wednesday 2 May 2018
As with the previous upgrades for the Meltdown vulnerability, the maintenance windows for each are two hours long, but we expect that each server will be down for much less than that. During the Meltdown maintenance the servers were down for between 13 and 19 minutes, and we expect much the same this time around.
Please click the links above to determine when this will be in your time zone.
During the maintenance of servers NC023 and NC027 you will not be able to send or receive email. Incoming email to your domain will be held on the sending servers until our mail server is back online, and will then be delivered to your accounts. No email will be lost. Please note that email to NinerNet will also be down during the maintenance on server NC027.
During the maintenance of server NC031 your website will be inaccessible, both to you and the public.
