As part of our commitment to enhancing service quality and performance, we are excited to inform you about an upcoming upgrade for the Mahal server, which currently hosts your website.

What’s Changing? We are in the process of acquiring new hardware specifically for the Mahal server. Once this acquisition is complete, we will proceed with setting up the software on the new server. Subsequently, we will then initiate the seamless transfer of your website to this upgraded server.

Benefits of the Upgrade: This upgrade brings several improvements to the backend, including enhanced reliability, increased speed, and compatibility with modern software. Rest assured that these changes will positively impact the performance of your website.

What You Need to Do: While we anticipate a smooth transition, we recommend taking the following steps to ensure a seamless experience:

1. Update Your Site Scripts: Please review and update any custom scripts or applications associated with your website to ensure compatibility with the new environment.
2. Backup Your Site: As an additional precaution, we advise maintaining your own backups of your website files. Always having a local copy on your computer is recommended.

Timeline: Barring any unforeseen circumstances, our goal is to complete this transition by the end of this week or the beginning of next. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process.

Have Questions? If you have any inquiries or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team. We are here to help and committed to ensuring a seamless transition for your website.

Thank you for choosing our services. We value your business and look forward to continuing to serve you.

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhance our services, we would like to provide you with an update regarding the Mahal server upgrade.

On March 11, 2024, we announced the upcoming upgrade to the Mahal server. We are pleased to inform you that we are currently in the final stages of installation and configuration of software on the upgraded server. As a result, we will soon begin the process of transferring accounts to the new infrastructure.

During this transition period, we kindly recommend refraining from making any major changes to your website. This will ensure a smooth migration process and minimize any potential disruptions.

Additionally, if you currently access the Mahal server directly via its IP address, please be aware that these IP addresses will be changing. Rest assured, once the migration is complete, we will promptly provide you with the updated IPs.

Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team. We are always here to assist you.

Thank you for your continued trust in our services.

On March 15, 2024, we formally announced our intention to transfer accounts to our new server. Regrettably, unforeseen circumstances led to a delay in this process. However, I am pleased to share that we have made significant progress, with the new server configuration, now 90% complete.

Assuming all goes according to plan, we are prepared to initiate the transfer of your sites to the new server within the next 24 hours. We sincerely appreciate your patience during this transition.

Should you have any inquiries or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. Our dedicated team is always here to help. Thank you for your continued trust and support.

We are pleased to inform you that the migration of accounts from the Mahal server to our new infrastructure has been successfully completed. The new server is equipped with faster SSDs, an upgraded processor, and increased RAM capacity. Additionally, we have implemented the latest backend web servicing software, resulting in improved website performance.

However, we kindly request that you take a moment to review your account to ensure that everything is functioning as expected. If you encounter any issues or have specific requirements, please do not hesitate to notify us promptly. As part of our ongoing efforts, we are preparing to decommission the old server.

For those who manage their DNS resolution independently and do not utilize our nameservers, please update your DNS records to point your website to the new IP address:

51.81.245.227

We appreciate your patience during this transition, and we value your continued patronage. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team.

Thank you for choosing our services.

We regret to inform you that we have received reports of downtime affecting the Mahal server. Our technical team has diligently investigated the issue and determined that it is related to an incident at the datacenter. Unfortunately, we anticipate that the downtime will persist for up to 8 hours. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Rest assured that we are actively monitoring the situation and will provide timely updates regarding the network status as new information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this period.

UPDATE: We are pleased to inform you that the recent service outage has been successfully resolved. However, due to an issue at our datacenter, the IP address of the server has been changed to 23.237.150.194.

If you were previously accessing the server directly by IP, we kindly request that you update your configuration to use the new IP address provided above. Additionally, if you are not utilizing our DNS servers for your domain, please ensure that you promptly update your DNS zone entries to reflect the updated IP.

We sincerely apologize for any frustration and inconvenience this may have caused, and we appreciate your understanding during this time. Thank you for your continued trust in our services.

We have received notification that our datacenter is consolidating their infrastructure and servers that are located in their older datacenter will need to be physically moved to their newer datacenter.

Wednesday, April 17, 2019
Starting at 7:00AM PDT

We are planning for significant downtime on the day listed above. If you have a site and/or email that absolutely can NOT have any downtime, please let us know right away and we can manually transfer your account ahead of time to a different server already located in their new datacenter with no downtime.

If there are any questions, please let us know. We are always happy to help.

UPDATE: Services should now be tentatively coming back online. However, please note that we are still making changes on the backend and downtime can still occur.

The main server IP has changed to the following:
23.237.150.58

If you don't see your site online, you could have your DNS results still cached on your computer. You can either wait for the cached to clear by itself or clear it manually to speed up the process. For those that don't use our nameservers, please update your A entries for your domain. For those that connect directly to the server using an IP, please use the one above. If you have a dedicated IP, a new one will be assigned to you as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please let us know. We are always happy to help.

UPDATE: We are now closing this network issue. Please contact us if you have any issues with your site.
