For a brief period, the RADIUS server here in Huntingdon that authenticates ADSL logins was refusing connections. This is now resolved and any ADSL circuits that weren’t able to login should have automatically come back on line again. If you are still seeing issues, please re-start your router.
We just saw a temporary blip on one of our interconnects which may have caused a brief < 1 minute loss of connectivity to some services hosted here in the Huntingdon data centre.
This appears to be a momentary issue only but we are investigating the root cause.
We had to reboot one of our core ADSL routers as we were aware of various problems affecting a significant number of lines and we took the decision that a very short outage was needed to allow these sessions to be cleared down. We have seen all of the affected lines come back successfully, so believe that this is now resloved. Apologies to anyone who briefly lost their connection.
UPDATE: the fault has been isolated and fixed. Any customer facing services affected should now be back to normal.
We’ve a hardware issue that is affecting some hosted WP sites and may impact other sites also hosted on the same server. No time-to-fix information as yet; we’ll update this post as more information becomes available.
We are aware of a network issue that occurred this morning. This appears to have been caused by one of our routers crashing.
We do have multiple routers so normally this would not cause a problem – however in this case it would appear that while the router stopped routing some traffic properly it was still advertising the route to our other routers.
We have now reset the failed router which so far seems stable – we are monitoring the router for any signs of issues
We are sorry for any problems caused by this issue.
One of our shared hosting web servers (cgi.merula.net / 217.146.105.1) had some issues earlier today due to a attack against a number of scripts on the server.
We believe that the attack has now been blocked and the issue resolved.
We are sorry for any issues this may have caused
