Update - We have intentionally shut down the Falcon server for further hardware replacement.
The purpose of this is to improve stability of the server to enable migration of the accounts to a replacement server.

Monitoring - Server Falcon is currently online.
We are continuing with data integrity checks.
We are still seeing some file system errors, however for the most part the server seems stable.
We will continue to monitor the server closely while we finalize plans to migrate data to new hardware / virtual servers.
Further information regarding any upcoming migration will be provided here and via email.

Identified - Update to Server Issue Affecting Falcon
We are currently performing comprehensive data integrity checks in preparation for a restoration of the operating system and associated services.
This step is necessary to ensure that any recovery actions are completed safely and without risk to customer data. Once these checks are complete, we will proceed with the most appropriate restoration path.
At this time, we do not have an estimated time for completion. Please be assured that our engineering team is actively working to resolve the issue as quickly and safely as possible.
We will provide further updates as meaningful progress is made.
Longer-Term Improvements
Over the next 3–5 months, we will be migrating customers onto new virtualized infrastructure with built-in multi-layer redundancy. This architecture is designed to significantly reduce the risk of hardware-related service disruptions in the future and improve overall platform resilience.

Update - Status: Investigating
Impact: Websites and related services on Falcon are currently unavailable
What’s Happening
A separate server has experienced an unexpected service interruption. This issue is not related to the previously reported hardware degradation on another system (Merlin).
Services hosted on Falcon are currently offline while our engineering team works to restore availability.
What We’re Doing
Our team is actively investigating the cause of the interruption and taking corrective action to safely restore services.
We are prioritizing:
- System stability
- Data integrity
- Safe service restoration
Further updates will be provided as we make progress.

Update - Update – Merlin:
Emergency replacement hardware is currently en route to our data center.
Once the new hardware is installed, we will perform comprehensive data integrity checks to ensure system consistency and stability. Following those checks, we will proceed with the safest and most effective restoration path to return the server to full performance.
Our team remains fully engaged and is prioritizing a safe and complete resolution.
Further updates will be provided as we reach key milestones.

Identified - What’s Happening
One of our production servers experienced underlying hardware issues affecting disk performance. While the system is online and operational, it is currently running in a degraded state while storage is rebuilding.
As a result, customers may experience:
Slow website load times
- Database (MySQL) errors
- Application instability
- Email services appear to be functioning normally at this time, and we are continuing to monitor closely.
What We’re Doing
We are actively working on two parallel recovery paths to restore full stability as quickly as possible:
1. Hardware Remediation
Replacement components are en route and expected within 24 hours. Once installed, we will assess whether this fully resolves the performance degradation.
2. Provisioning a New Server
A brand-new server has been procured and is currently being built. This will allow us to restore services onto fresh infrastructure if that path proves faster or more stable.
We will proceed with whichever solution restores full service in the shortest and safest timeframe.
What You Can Expect
- Performance may remain inconsistent during the storage rebuild process.
- Some database-driven sites may intermittently show errors.
- We are prioritizing system stability and data integrity above all else.
- We will provide further updates as we reach key milestones.
