An issue is ongoing on DNS resolvers on the hosting platform.

The technical team is analyzing and fixing the issue currently.

Do not reboot your VPS.

Update 17:30 : two system administrators are going on site, the rest of the team is triying to restart the DNS resolvers remotely and spawn new DNS resolvers in the meantime.

Update 17.35 : one DNS resolver is now working again. You can use :

- 217.70.184.226

- 217.70.184.228

- 217.70.184.230

Update 17.45 : the two mostly used DNS resolvers are working again.

We suffer from a DDoS attack on the IaaS Hosting platform on the Paris/FR datacenter.

The technical team is currently mitigating the attach and trying to solve the encountered issue.

4 physical nodes have been impacted by the attack.

UPDATE : End of the issue around 2PM. The technical team did restart the physical nodes and the concerned VMs properly. The attack has been mitigated and is analyzed more precisely now.

UPDATE : a IaaS/PaaS storage unit will be rebooted in the next minutes, for safety reaons because of a few disks which are blocked. The reboot operation will take 20 minutes approximately. there is no need to reboot or stop/start your VPS or SH instance, the I/O will be delayed and will catch up once the filer is restarted. We do the necessary operations on our side. Sorry for the inconvenience this issue may cause to you.

UPDATE : the reboot operation took less than 10 minutes, the I/O recovered within 5 minutes, the operations are still halted but will be restarted in the next minutes once all is clear.

UPDATE : hosting operations are now restarted, the situation is back to normal.

A Maintenance is scheduled Wednesday between 08:00 PM and 01:00AM UTC.

During this time you will not be able to edit your site but it will remain online.
