xn3.pcsmarthosting.co.uk currently has issues with the RAID controller which we are working to resolve. Further updates will follow.

[Resolved] VZ1 Outage
We are currently aware of an issue with our VZ1 Node, we are investigating this and hope to have service restored in the next 30 minutes.
Update: This has now been resolved and the machine is back online.
We are currently facing a large DDoS attack on the offsite DataCentre we use for our billing and ticketing systems, the incident is being treated as a priority 1 and we will post updates here as we get them.
We offload our billing and ticketing systems to a different DataCentre for redundancy so should our primary DataCentre be unavailable access to your billing and ticketing systems would be unaffected.
Update: This has now been mitigated and the issue resolved.
