Looks like bourbon’s boot drive is failing! We’re moving the server over to new hardware, so you should see about an hour of downtime.
We’re doing everything to restore functionality as quickly as possible and apologize for the problems this creates!
We’ll post an update as soon as it’s done =)
UPDATE: 08:30PM PST
Ok, everything […]

It’s that time again! Right now I’m compiling a new version of Ruby on Rails for our servers. I will be testing and slowly rolling these out this week and next week. The upgrade should be completed by the end of next week at the latest. I will be carefully testing the upgrade to be […]

Right now we are experiencing some slowdowns sending emails to Google’s GMail service. This only appears to be affecting mail being forwarded through our systems, and not sending directly through an email client using our mail servers.

Due to space and power constraints in our primary datacenter we are moving the entire shared cluster “spacey” to our LAX facility at 10:00PM PST (GMT - 8), two weeks from today, Friday, November 30th 2007.

Over the next few hours we’ll be working on the dreamhoststatus.com database and webserver, which means you might see some downtime of the site. If something critical comes up, we will cease maintenance on the website and make sure it’s back up and running for the duration.
We will try to keep it as available […]

Unfortunately, the bundy server has been experiencing some trouble this morning. When identified an attempt was made remotely restart the server. This did not work as expected. An admin has been notified and is heading into the data center to directly restart and monitor it. I apologize for any inconvenience this […]

The server ‘edsel’ is having issues mounting its file servers, which is causing home directories to be ‘missing’ and sites to be down.
We are looking into the issue and hope to have a resolution shortly.
Thank you for your patience!
Update: 3:18am pacific: we have determined the cause and have temporarily worked around the issue. Unfortunately […]

Cerritos appears to be having some issues with one of its network interfaces, so we’re going to give it new hardware.
This move should take about 30-45 minutes and we will post again here with updates as things progress.
Hopefully this will alleviate some of the issues it’s been having!
Update 3:54PM pacific: the hardware failover has been […]
