Urgent Network Maintenance in Progress – New York (NYC) Location
Timeline · 3 updates
- identified May 27, 2026, 12:56 PM UTC
We have started urgent network maintenance in our New York location to deploy new upstream connectivity following the unexpected exit of our current provider from the facility. Further details are sent via email to all affected virtual machine clients. During this maintenance, some customers may experience intermittent connectivity interruptions or temporary downtime while network migration activities are performed. The maintenance window is expected to last up to 8 hours, although we believe the actual disruption will be significantly shorter. We sincerely apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience caused. This upgrade is an important step toward improving the long-term stability and quality of our New York services. Further updates will be posted here as progress continues.
- monitoring May 27, 2026, 03:28 PM UTC
We have finished with the network upgrade and as of 1 hour - all network is stable. We'll continue monitoring for a few more hours, until we close the case.

dalstorage01 RAID Failure
Timeline · 2 updates
- identified Apr 07, 2026, 09:31 AM UTC
A critical RAID array failure occurred on dalstorage01 earlier today. The RAID controller entered an unstable state and continued write operations, which resulted in corruption of multiple KVM disk images. The node was taken offline immediately to prevent further impact. The RAID controller has been replaced and recovery procedures are currently in progress. Due to the array size, recovery is time-intensive and data consistency cannot be guaranteed. At this time, available capacity in Dallas is limited. We are actively working on deploying additional hardware, however an exact ETA is not yet confirmed. Affected customers are being provided with replacement services in alternative locations. Rescue access can be enabled upon request for best-effort data recovery. Further updates will be provided as progress continues. If your VPS is affected by this, you have already been sent an email with further steps. If no email is sent to you - please open a ticket immediately.

nuestorage07 - Catastrophic RAID failure
Timeline · 8 updates
- investigating Dec 20, 2024, 07:49 AM UTC
We've been alerted of a catastrophic RAID failure on our nuestorage07 node. Earlier this morning, the controller started flapping, which jumped the I/O load to over 90. This made every VM on the host hypervisor unresponsive. We've proceeded with replacing the RAID adapter and we're moving towards an attempted recovery. At this point, we're unsure if recovery would be possible.
- identified Dec 20, 2024, 09:31 AM UTC
We're currently working on bringing the node back online in a stable state. We estimate that it would take us 3-4 additional hours before we start booting the virtual machines up and assessing the damage. Please stand by for further updates.
- identified Dec 20, 2024, 01:54 PM UTC
We are starting with restoration of individual KVM machines. Further updates to follow.
- identified Dec 20, 2024, 09:04 PM UTC
We're continuing to work on restoring VMs, if your VM is affected - please wait until it's booted up.
- monitoring Dec 21, 2024, 02:01 PM UTC
We'll be booting up the remaining virtual servers in the next 1 hour and continue with monitoring the hypervisor.
- monitoring Dec 21, 2024, 03:44 PM UTC
Unfortunately, as we booted up the majority of the affected VMs, the node started becoming unstable again with flush operations starting to get queued. We're looking into alternative solutions at the moment. Further updates to come.
- monitoring Dec 21, 2024, 11:35 PM UTC
We've proceeded with replacing additional hardware. After we've performed manual fsck on each virtual machine's virtual drive - we've proceeded with booting up all affected VPS. As of now, all services are restored. We'll be monitoring the situation throughout the next days.
- resolved Jan 01, 2025, 12:08 PM UTC
We've monitored the situation for the past 11 days and as of now, everything is stable and we're closing the issue.
