We're performing rolling restarts across our VPS, Managed VPS, Dedicated, and MySQL database servers to apply important updates. Websites and services on those servers may be unavailable for about 5 minutes while their server restarts. Sites that use a DreamHost MySQL database may briefly show database connection errors during this time. No action is needed on your end. We'll update this post once the restarts are complete.
