We separate hosting signups from countries that we deem to be “high risk” (HR) due to the higher potential of fraudulent and abusive activity that comes with accepting accounts from these countries.

Due to some internal updates we have temporarily disabled signups from our HR country list.

We will provide an update once we’ve re-enabled accepting accounts from the HR countries.  We expect this temporary signup limitation to last for less than 1 week.

You may register an account and submit your signup using our website, however the registration will remain in a pending state until we lift the restriction.  We will notify any pending registrations via email once they have been accepted.

The past week our datacenter experienced a few outages on their private network which in turn caused free hosting to go down completely.  Free hosting relies on the private network to communicate with all of our systems including the SAN that your data is stored on, so an outage on the private network means an outage for free hosting.

In order to prevent this from happening again we have built out our own private network independent of the datacenter’s.  To complete the build out we have to re-arrange the servers which unfortunately will cause some downtime.  We are also taking this time to upgrade the firmware on the SAN and do some other overdue maintenance tasks.

Right now the network is being tested and we are in communication with the DC, once we get the go ahead we will be scheduling a time to make the move.  Please keep an eye on the status site here for further updates.  We will most likely be making the move ASAP.

We plan to start this shortly after 5PM EDT now.

Webpages should be serving fine, internal systems are still being updated.

Our datacenter is experiencing an issue with the private network which has impacted our SAN for free hosting.  We are waiting on an update regarding this.

The private network has been restored, however we need to reboot the servers one by one and assess if any file corruption occurred.  It is possible we may need to run a file system check on one or more of the free hosting servers.  Updates will follow. @ 5:49AM EDT

Everything should be back online, we have some maintenance scripts running, some minor issues may come and go for the next few hours.  @ 7:30AM EDT

We will be updating our MySQL servers to the latest version this evening, there will be a minor outage for the MySQL servers during this time.  We expect no more then 5 minutes of total downtime for this upgrade.
