Server and System Status

NC018: Web server restarted

19 June 2014 07:08:10 +0000

We have restarted the web server and are keeping an eye on it, specifically the sources of traffic to it.

NC018: Web server down

19 June 2014 06:57:04 +0000

We have taken down the web server while we investigate an overload condition. We will have it back up as soon as possible, and will post further updates here.

Email and other services on server NC018 are not affected.

NC018: Issue resolved

5 May 2014 08:15:06 +0000

Web server performance on server NC018 has returned to normal. Thank-you for your patience.

NC018: Web server slow

5 May 2014 07:45:40 +0000

Some websites on server NC018 are loading quite slowly. This does not seem to be affecting other services such as email.

We are looking into the cause and will report back here.

NC018: Investigation findings

8 March 2014 00:57:23 +0000

The web server on server NC018 sustained a denial-of-service attack between approximately 14:00 and 18:00 UTC on 7 March. This is why websites on this server were unavailable during this period. No other services (email or nameservers) were affected.

We have implemented improved monitoring of this activity on this server. Additionally, we are in discussions with the data centre to move this server to an improved network infrastructure, a move we hope to implement before the end of March.

We apologise for this disruption.

NC018: Web server outage

7 March 2014 18:22:18 +0000

We have had reports that the web server on server NC018 was down in the late afternoon UTC. We restarted the web server at 18:07 UTC and it is up right now.

We’re looking into this and will report back here shortly.

Web server on NC018

13 December 2013 20:21:00 +0000

The web server on server NC018 was not responding this evening (UTC). The problem was addressed and the server restarted at 19:36 UTC. Other services on the server (including email, FTP and DNS) were not affected.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused during this time.

Email migration: Update 10

8 October 2013 06:18:09 +0000

The aforementioned sweep of all migrated email accounts on the old server has been completed, and all mail accounts on the old server have been deactivated.

If you are having problems sending email, please double and triple check your email configuration against the instructions you’ve been given. We’ll be making phone calls today to check with clients individually to ensure that everything is working.

Email migration: Update 9

7 October 2013 18:52:22 +0000

Please ensure that you correctly follow the instructions you have received for configuring your email program. All problems we have encountered so far are all related to missing a tick, setting the wrong encryption method, spelling mistakes, etc. These are the correct settings:

  • User name: you@yourdomain.com
  • Password: Your Password
  • Password type: Plain
  • Incoming (POP) mail server: pop27.niner.net
  • Incoming mail server port: 995
  • Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: smtp27.niner.net
  • Outgoing mail server port: 587
  • Authentication: Turned on for SMTP
  • Encrypted connection: TLS (if it’s an option in your email program) or SSL (if TLS is not shown as an option)

All of the above settings are important and required. None are optional. Your password has not changed, so if you’re not sure that you remember your password, please don’t edit it in your email program.

Using the above settings you can configure any email program on any computer, phone or tablet, even ones for which we have not provided unique instructions.

However, if you are having problems, please contact us. We are happy to help.

Please also note that the settings for the old server will stop working early in the morning of Tuesday, 8 October, UTC, so please do your best to get the new settings working today.

Email migration: Update 8

7 October 2013 18:20:24 +0000

The migration has completed. After midnight UTC we will perform the sweep mentioned earlier, and then disable migrated domains on the old server.
