We just experienced a 3 hours servers full downtime.

Although we take every precaution imaginable, it is impossible to fully eliminate this threat.

It was an issue affecting part of the network of our hosting company in London.
The problem had to do with their Cisco ACI platform which handles the traffic flow.
Network engineers worked with Cisco to resolve the issue.

We were not able to communicate with our customers during the downtime.
Please accept our apologies for this issue, we're now back online.

Thanks for resolving this issue. I did guess it was the servers as your website was not working either. On a positive note I do like the 'Achievements' in the Profile. Am looking forward to the challenge of completeing a fw of them....some will take years ...hahahaha

we'er up and running.👍

Thanks for resolving the issue promptly!

Danke für die Information. Weiterhin viel Erfolg.

No problem

(this problem seems to coincide with the 4 20 acheivement)
Just saying....

Thanks for the update. It makes all the difference that you keeps us notified.

Thank You Rex !

Internet et ses services fonctionnent en général très bien et on n'est pas
toujours bien conscients voire même informés de la réalité des actions à
mener en "coulisses" et au quotidien pour que tout cela fonctionne
correctement et serve la population dans ses moindres désirs.
C'est donc ici un bon retour d'information pour nous dire que tout n'est pas acquis d'avance...

Caturday survivor achievement... :)

***** happens, it is up and running now so no problem for me.

Just compliments, appreciation and a big thank you for the communication. Technically indeed something which can happen unless all precautions. Think your hosting provider took it serieus and did a good job as well together with Cisco.

Cheers all and be safe.

I Must have been *****. Would have never known there was an issue unless was told.

Thanks👍👍

thanks for the information. anyways youre doing an excellent work all time to make just a little issue opaque your work.

Virus?

Virus?

Not likely... unless you think covid hopped into computers! :)
More likely a DDOS on the system, or very possibly a power outage at the server end... my moneys on the third option. The internet has been intermittent during the last few days and there have been a few brown outs in our area.
