Our shared hosting server “hops.dreamhost.com” is having troubles with one of its network cards, and as such is down. We’re in the process of moving it to new hardware now.
Update: hops.dreamhost.com is back online on its new hardware.
The servers soda.dreamhost.com, and fidget.dreamhost.com, will be offline for a couple minutes each while we stuff some more ram into them. This will only affect websites for those of you who are hosted on these servers, email will remain online.
