Notice: We are in the process of this maintenance for VPSs

--------------------------

Good day,

On September 3rd starting at 10:30PM we will be performing VPS maintenance.
https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20240903T2230&p0=104&msg=Update+time&font=cursive 

This maintenance will be positioning us for our new product lineup and upgrades to existing VPSs.
Please shut your VPS down by that time or we will gracefully shut it down.
If a system doesn't shut down with the shutdown command after 10 minutes then we will force shutdown.
Once the maintenance is complete on the node we will start back up all VPSs.

Can't wait to share the exciting news.

Good day,

We just got notification from Cogent (One of our uplink providers) that they are doing emergency network maintenance tonight.
Start time: 12:00 am central 09/10/2021
End time: 3:00 am central 09/10/2021
Down time should last no longer than 15 minutes.

This outage should not effect us as we have redundant uplink providers.
This message is to let you know that you might see increase in ping times till Cogent's link comes back online.

If have any issues after the scheduled time. Please open a ticket.

Thank you,
Josh
