Interruptions

15.10.2026 07:33 pm (UTC+2) Important security update: patching of all VPS/VDS hosts (CVE-2026-99999)
We are aware of CVE-2026-99999, a critical Linux kernel vulnerability (CVSS 9.3) that was publicly disclosed on 15 October 2026. It affects the host systems underlying all VPS and VDS products. We have been tracking it since publication and are working to patch our entire server fleet as quickly as possible, with fixes deployed gradually as they become available.
Customers should expect VPS or VDS to restart during this period. We will keep interruptions as brief as possible. We recommend keeping recent backups and making sure services start automatically after a reboot. Full details available on our helpdesk.

We are currently investigating a network connectivity issue affecting some sectors of our US Central Data Center. We will provide further updates as more information becomes available.

[UPDATE 09.10.2026 10:32 am (UTC+2)]

Connectivity should be back to normal again. Waiting for final confirmation.

[UPDATE 09.10.2026 02:47 pm (UTC+2)]

Everything is confirmed to be back to normal.
08.09.2026 11:00 am (UTC+2) Degraded Performance - CEPH Cluster: non-critical
Estimated duration: 900 minutes
14.10.2026
Object Storage is functioning normally in EU and US, this incident now only affects the APAC region Object Storage.

Additionally, customers in Sydney might experience slower data transfer speeds at times. The cause is a broken submarine cable between Australia and Singapore. Repairs are currently expected in November, though this timeline may change. We’re mitigating the situation by rerouting traffic.

While we resolve the situation, automated backups will continue as bandwidth and performance allows, and backup status remains visible via the CCP (Customer Control Panel).

23.09.2026

We are continuing to address performance issues affecting our Object Storage cluster.

As a precaution, automated backups remain paused. Existing backups are unaffected and restores continue to operate normally.

We will provide a further update once resolved.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are currently addressing performance issues affecting our Object Storage cluster. The Object Storage product remains fully functional.

As a precaution, automated backups to this cluster have been temporarily paused. Existing backups are unaffected, and restores continue to operate normally.

A fix is already underway. We expect the cluster to be fully operational within the next few days and are closely monitoring progress. Once resolved, automated backups will resume, and backup status will remain visible via the CCP (Customer Control Panel) throughout.

We will provide further updates as they become available.
