Type: Incident Duration: 6 days, 1 hour and 33 minutes Affected Components: Frankfurt Nov 21, 10:30:31 GMT+0 - Identified - We are currently experiencing an issue on our DE-S1 node due to a system-level resource problem. This has temporarily affected access to cPanel/WHM and, most notably, databases. This appears to have been caused by a spike in filesystem usage. We are working to restore full functionality as soon as possible. Nov 22, 13:19:25 GMT+0 - Identified - Accounts are still being restored. Due to the large amount of accounts and data we expect all accounts to be restored within 24 hours. Nov 21, 19:47:42 GMT+0 - Monitoring - We have detected MySQL corruption on the DE-S1 node, which has impacted access to cPanel/WHM and several databases. To resolve this, we are preparing a careful restoration process from our backups. This involves: 1. Securing all current data to prevent losses. 2. Restoring affected databases and services from verified backups. 3. Validating data integrity and bringing all services back online. This process is complex and will take some time to complete safely. We are actively working on it and will provide regular updates as progress continues.
