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 network related problem some mail services where unreachable tonight for a short while (starting around 22 pm cet). The technicians fixed the problem and all services are back up and running. Our apologizes for the inconvenience caused.

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.

We received some reports that email delivery is currently delayed for some domains. We are currently investigating this issue and will solve it as quickly as possible. Our appologizes for the inconvience.

In the weekend of December the 27th and 28th there will be some repair in the datacenter network in Germany where a part of our servers are located. This repair is expected to cause a downtime with an expected maximum duration of 4 hours. The exact time is not yet known.

This can cause several services to be unreachable during the repairs. It is expected to affect email services, linux webhosting, usenet access, dns, the service desk and the blog. Other services such as dsl, our website and windows hosting should function normally.

Due to a power failure at the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX Nikhef) you can experience slowdowns and failures in the internet connections at this moment. Other internet exchanges are affected by this power outage. This interuption was reported at 21:16 CET. No further details are available at this moment.

[update 23:45 cet] Power at Nikhef has been restored. All connections are open again.

Last night we received several reports about problems with connecting to the mail server for incoming e-mails. The service interuption was caused by a interuption of another server what caused that also the backup mail system did not function as it should do. Normally the backup system takes over all mail services when the main system crashes.

Later on yesterday night our technicians solved the cause of the problems. All services are up and running again since that time.

Due to this interuption also the Yabu Blog could not be reached for some time, because of that we were unable to inform everybody through the blog earlier with a post.

Our appologizes for any inconvience caused.

We are experiencing some interruptions with one of the mail servers. Interruption started around 1.19 am CET. During the down time you might have some difficulties login in or connecting to your e-mails. Operational work is started on that issue to be resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

[update 2:38 CET] The cause of this problem is solved. All systems are running smoothly at this moment.
