[Resolved] xn3 outage
xn3.pcsmarthosting.co.uk currently has issues with the RAID controller which we are working to resolve. Further updates will follow.
Update: We’ve traced this to a bug in the upstream Linux 4.9 kernel. The raid controller and array appear to be healthy. We’ll bring the server back up on a secondary kernel to restore service. Further investigations will be carried out in our test environment.

How long will it take?
We are hoping this should take no longer than 60 minutes.

[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.
