Maxko outage

jtk — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 15:54:21 +0000

It looks like their web services (maxko-hosting.com) and origin prefixes are currently available. There exists BGP routes with them as an upstream still floating around however.

Server Galactic portal/node problems

jtk — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 19:55:52 +0000

A small provider, but in case anyone is using them... The client portal for Server Galactic (my.servergalactic.asia) and at least some of their VMs seem to be having some availability problems. It is fronted by Cloudflare and showing the dreaded gateway 504 time-out

billing.dedirock.com currently unavailable

jtk — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 14:35:52 +0000

It looks like Dedirock is having some problems with their billing panel. Too many cheap deals? It is behind Cloudflare. User end OK, Cloudflare Newark OK, but destination host down.

FirstByte X.509 cert expired

jtk — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 22:34:17 +0000

Not a service or system outage exactly, but perhaps not so great for business... FirstByte's billing web certificate seems to be expired as of 2025-09-23. Anyone from there or know someone from there that should be alerted?

BGP handling bug causes widespread internet routing instability

tentor — Tue, 27 May 2025 14:00:26 +0000

7AM (UTC) on Wednesday May 20th 2025 a BGP message was propagated that triggered surprising (to many) behaviours with two major BGP implementations that are often used for carrying internet traffic.

This caused a large number of “internet facing” BGP sessions to automatically shut down, causing at the very least some routing instability, and at worst brief loss of connectivity for some networks.

IO Zoom PayPal

jtk — Sat, 24 May 2025 14:11:54 +0000

No system outage per se, but payment processing, which I think still counts for this category.

I don't hear much about IO Zoom these days, but they have been around for awhile. There seems to be some sort of problem with their PayPal payment option recently. Something broke or is no longer working. It's not clear to me what happened, but this is not an issue I've ever seen before unless an organization was intentionally removing it as an option, which I'm told is not the case. Hopefully this is not a sign of larger problems. They are aware of it and expected it to be fixed awhile ago. The problem has been going on for about two weeks. If you have anything with them, have a payment coming up, and use PayPal, let this be a notice to you. I've not seen it mentioned anywhere else.

Spain and Portugal maxi-blackout

Maxi Blackout of whole Spain and Portugal, do you have any update?

Z Plus Tornado Fun!

ZizzyDizzyMC — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 22:56:17 +0000

If you have service with us, your data is 99.999% probably-fine. ZFS + UPS meant mostly graceful shutdowns for all but the greediest VMs refusing to stop.

However, the entire city I'm in looks like confetti made of trees and silly string made of power lines. Announcing it here on LES since this is where 99% of our clients come from.

While our systems have power with a backup, our business line is down and network connectivity is a bust. With this knowledge, I've powered down the systems in as safe as state as possible and will power back up once I've restored connectivity.

I haven't decided what the compensation for the downtime will be exactly yet, but you will be compensated at least approximately double whatever the downtime is - possibly more. I'm small and can afford that since we own everything and aren't facing thousands of dollars an hour in losses.

I am in the process of getting a better power system in around july - we've settled on a 22kw system capable of running down to -40 degrees. We're also going to be replacing our front end router soon, just because I'm kind of over the BS that my CX3080 is giving us.

Apologies in advance,
Zizzy

Aquatis down last 13 hours

DrLow — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 16:53:20 +0000

Are there other Aquatis customers out there?

My server has been down 13 hours, their status page shows an outage from February still on. WTF?

Another low-level host bites the dust I guess.

ATTENTION MyW hosting imminent shutdown

System — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 19:27:33 +0000

No reason to panic, thanks to Jarland, but users should consider migrating. Refugee offer thread This discussion was created from comments split from: Lifetime Offers / Shared/Reseller DirectAdmin (DE, SG, LA, AT!).

Hey friends, When we took over MyW it was to save it from a death that was coming with so little warning that data loss was guaranteed before you could migrate out. We weren't entirely certain how we would move forward with the hosting provider. All that we knew was that we weren't going to let everyone lose their data with virtually no warning, and we would figure out the rest as we went. Today we're letting you know that MyW will be permanently closing on July 1, 2025. At that date all customer data will be permanently deleted and will not be recoverable. The billing database containing your information will be deleted just the same, there will remain no record or backup of MyW (at least not any made by us). We are not entertaining any offers for acquisition of the brand, nor any ideas for keeping it running. It has been on life support and it is most fair to you that it be buried properly rather than passed around like a toxic asset. We also know that many MySQL databases on WDE1 are corrupted after an abusive user on the server generated over 1TB of logs and filled the disk to 100%. It is unlikely that this will ever work better than it is working right now. There is no available time or funding to focus on repairing anything that is wrong with MyW, it will be severely neglected for the remainder of it's life. Please do not have reasonable expectations of it's support, as that will also be neglected. I understand that sounds bad. Fiction always sounds better. I don't deal in fiction. Kind Regards, Jarland MyW Administrator

Indovirture VMs, billing, and solusvm may be unavailable

jtk — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 16:06:58 +0000

It looks like IndoVirtue may be having some problems. Singapore VMs at least may be unreachable as are the solusvm and billing systems. Problems seemed to start about 24 hours ago. Contact attempted. Rep hasn't been very active here or or TGF in awhile. Will update thread with new information if I get any.

Crunchbits is facing a network outage

I have their service, hope it could recover soon.

Greencloud Ransomware

icelandman — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 22:38:33 +0000

I have a Greencloud vm in San Jose that went offline on 21st October 2024.

I opened a ticket, they replied with OS issue and asked to backup using rescue mode.

GC notified customers about Raid Failure. After several update from GC about Raid, mdadm was unable to scan and assemble the drive. They took the vm offline.

I was able to connect using rescue mode and found out it has been encrypted by junglesec before they deleted the vm.

Some customers have the same issue, based on a thread on LET. GC denied any breached.

After 3 days, my service is still offline.

Virmach NYCB040 has been down since 8/17/24

capnjb — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 18:04:56 +0000

VPS access has been down since 8/17, filed a ticket, no acknowledgement that the VPS is down on the network status page.. nothing from the sysops. Will it ever return? Does anyone have and feedback? Virmach was great, no downtime nothing, until the summer of 2022 and since it has been a nightmare for the two VPS's I have with them. Both were migrated from Dallas one to NY & he other to GA...

HOST-C General Downtime 21-SEPT-2024

host_c — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 11:01:17 +0000

Hy Guys,

I do not intend to use this forum as a ticket system, but since we are light on KYC, I wish to inform all customers on the General Downtime we will do.

If admins/mods think this is not the place to post this, feel free to delete the tread.

Thanks to your continued support, we’ve outgrown our current rack and have successfully secured two adjacent units in the data center. Unfortunately, this expansion requires us to schedule a period of general downtime. While we’d prefer not to take this route, we have no other choice, as a live migration would take weeks and severely impact performance for everyone.

We’ve been granted access to the data center on 21-SEPT-2024 to move all servers, routers, and switches.

We expect the process to take 4 to 6 hours, during which all HOST-C services will be offline.

Once the devices are set up in the new racks, we will immediately start restoring services.

General downtime is scheduled to begin on 21-SEPT-2024 at 08:00 AM Bucharest Time.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

NetDynamics Hardware and Software Failure

Astride3961 — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 15:43:52 +0000

NetDynamics:

I am writing to inform you about a critical incident that occurred today affecting our backup storage service in Finland only.
Earlier today, our backup server in Finland experienced both a software and a hardware failure. As a result, we are in the process of migrating to a new backup server. Our technical team is working diligently to restore the data; however, we cannot guarantee full data recovery at this time.
To ensure continuity of service, we can provide you with access to a new backup server. If you have your own backups, you will be able to upload them to the new server immediately. In case you don't have your own backups, then please download your data immediately because we cannot guarantee for how long they will remain intact.
We understand the importance of the data we manage for you and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please rest assured that we are taking all necessary measures to resolve this issue as swiftly as possible.
Also, because of this incident, we will not offer Nextcloud anymore. We will keep up providing our stable backup storage services (without the experimental Nextcloud system).
If you have any questions or need assistance with the new server setup, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our services.

NetDynamics:

At this point it is vital to contact us and let us know:
1. Do you have backups of your data or not? Have you already started downloading your data to be on the safe side?
2. Do you want us to try to migrate your data in another backup server of ours?
** In case we don't have a reply from you within 3 days (and hopefully the server will not crash until then), the server will be terminated and all data will be lost.**
Please contact us immediately start scheduling the restoration plan.
In any case, we are not responsible for any possible data loss as per our TOS.

Basically, if you use NetDynamics for their backup services, and happen to miss an email for 3 days, then

the server will be terminated and all data will be lost

They offer upto 10TB so downloading the 10TB might not even be possible - that is even if the server works in those 3 days.

CrowdStrike update causes outages Windows systems worldwide

orangevps — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 07:28:03 +0000

A faulty component in the latest CrowdStrike Falcon update is crashing Windows systems, impacting various organizations and services across the world, including airports, TV stations, and hospitals.

For those already affected, CrowdStrike provides the following workaround steps:

Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment
Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory
Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.
Boot the host normally.

George Kurtz, the President and CEO of CrowdStrike announced a few minutes ago that the company “is actively working with customers” and confirmed that the problems are caused “by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts.”

What's going on with Nexril?

tetech — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 07:06:35 +0000

My Nexril service had 100% uptime for the last 18 months, now it has gone down the gurgler with multiple outages (seems network-related) every day. Two in the past hour, per Hetrix.

Within the past few days, they've removed "Support" from the departments for tickets, i.e. the options are now billing, sales & abuse.

Anyone know what's going on with them? They sent out a thorough RFO after the Carrier-1 DC failure in May, but network issues + no communication + removing the ability to create a support ticket is a red flag, in my book.

KTS24 seems to be down or unreachable

angstrom — Sun, 05 May 2024 10:11:33 +0000

EasyVM -- down 23hrs and counting

DrLow — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 16:31:59 +0000

Apparently they are "upgrading" their Dallas data center machines or something. Anyone else in this situation or have heard anything from them? I got a response that the problem "is with Dallas", but no estimate of fix.

https://status.easyvm.net/

Shows "discovered" 7:30pm yesterday, but I've been down since noon (Dallas time) yesterday.

MaxKVM is down

xvps — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 08:20:53 +0000

MaxKVM's website is down, and people can't reach their VPSs.

According to their status page, all services are listed as under maintenance. Servers in Amsterdam, LA, and Singapore have been offline for the past 21 hours.

It looks like their upstream (Datacamp) has pulled the plug.

@MaxKVM hasn't been active here or in the other green forum for a long time.

They might be reachable via tech(a)semiband.com. Their primary mail server is up (hosted on Hetzner Cloud), but their secondary is hosted on their unreachable subnet.

Hostbrr deadpool?

It looks like Limewave.net's entire operation (AS 36369) may be offline since about 2024-01-29T07:50:26+00:00.

Letbox hack/outage

tetech — Sat, 06 Jan 2024 11:16:31 +0000

From https://my.letbox.com/serverstatus.php

Outage / High Loads - Virtualization (VPS) Platform. Node Specific.

Many VPS nodes down for base O/S re-installation to clean up from prior DDOS/hacker issues and secure systems. Service will be restored per node as each process completed.

UPDATE:

We are currently working to restore service to nodes affected from prior ddos/hack issues.

While working smoothly one server at a time to clean up the prior issue, the hacker got angry and decided to corrupt the O/S on all systems he/she/they still could get to that were not re-installed/patched yet.

We are now scrambling to re-install all those nodes, and have been at it non-stop since last night.

The good news is, there has been no breach to any re-install nodes with the most recent version/patch we have been using for weeks now, so it is just a matter of working thru the platform to re-install/patch each and every node.

We do not have an ETA for full resolution yet, but all services should be restored today at some point, with nodes coming on line one by one as completed.

Cloudflare dash broken?

bikegremlin — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 20:41:37 +0000

Is it just me, or is the Cloudflare's dashboard inaccessible?

https://dash.cloudflare.com/

Get a "loop" (it won't load the page, and it won't show any errors).
Can't get to the login stage, it's just stuck opening the page.

Tried using a VPN and a different browser, hasn't helped.

Core Networking Upgrade

host_c — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 21:01:02 +0000

Hy guys, in the upcoming 2 weeks we will conduct various upgrades to our core routing infrastructure. We will also implement a 3'rd backup line.

During this time, in rare occasions you might encounter connectivity time-outs, in the number of seconds at most, this will be due to the update of BGP Routes.

We apologize for the inconvinience.

Complete node's upgrades are also scheduled between 18-DEC-2023 and 21-DEC-2023.
We will get back with the exact date of the 1 our downtime for the node's.

HOST-C.
