===================================================

9 August 2012:  11.06am

We just received notification that there was a very large DDOS attack against the data centre and this is what caused the loss of connectivity.  Techs are working now to mitigate this attack and servers are normal.

===================================================

The network has remained stable.  As soon as we receive notification from the techs in the data centre we will let you know what happened.

===================================================

9 August 2012:  10.35am

We were alerted by our monitoring system that all sites on VPS4 OpenVZ Node were off line at approximately 10.30am today.  About 7 minutes after the alert the server was on line again.  We believe this was a networking issue in our UK racks and we are awaiting a report from the engineers on the ground as to what happened.

When we get that information we will post it here.
