At 11am UTC a quick hardware maintenance willl start and will cause a few services to be unreachable. We expect this maintenance will take no longer then 1 hour.

Affected services include mail and webhosting. Also our service desk won’t be reachable during the hardware change.

Due to a maintenance on our servers several of our services can be unreachable for a short while today between 15.00 and 23.00 CET.

Due to a connection interruption several services were unreachable today. Technicians are working all day on site to solve the issue. The problems are affecting many services including mail, dns and hosting. Also the phone lines of the service desk are unreachable due to the problems.

The problem was at first instance caused by a hardware problem at one host this morning. After this, other hosts followed quickly.

Around 15:30 this afternoon several services are restarting. We expect it will take several more hours before all services and servers are up and running stable again. Services will be started one by one to prevent any overloads.

Our apologizes for the inconvenience caused.
