Due to space and power constraints in our primary datacenter we are moving the entire shared cluster “looney” to our LAX facility at 12:01AM PDT, Sunday morning, May 13th 2007. All webservers, mail servers, file servers, and MySQL servers in the looney cluster will be unreachable during the move, which we expect to take approximately […]

The machine hornet is currently under a very large denial of service attack and it’s saturating our network to our LAX facility. Our network engineers are currently looking at the situation and should have a solution soon. We will post an update as soon as we have new information.

The server is coming back online now with an extra gig of memory!

The file server which has been a little crashy lately for users in the “spacey” cluster is being swapped out right now with newer-better-faster hardware. We’re sorry for the short notice, the server was on its way down when I realized that this post never made it live upstairs! The new server is booting up […]

At approximately 3:30PM PDT this afternoon, we’ll […]

The server bundy has been having some hardware issues as of late and we’re going to move it over to new hardware. The process should take about 30 minutes. We will post an update here when the process is complete.

Next Wednesday night, April 25th, we will be performing more maintenance on some of our central databases. This will take the DreamHost Webpanel offline starting at Wed Apr 25 22:00:00 PDT 2007 and potentially extending until Wed Apr 25 23:59:59 PDT 2007. The expected downtime within this window is 30 minutes.

One of our file servers is getting rebooted. This may be causing slowness or downtime if your domains/email is on the spacey servers. No data was affected. You can verify if this affected you by checking your Account Status (Your Email Server) on the upper right side of the control panel.
We apologize for the inconvenience. […]
