We ordered new ram for the Echo and Gemini servers to upgrade them to 24 GB from their current 12 GB. This will allow much more cache for MySQL and disk I/O resulting in an overall improvement in performance across the board for all customers on these servers. These two servers are our last that are on 12 GB, and were upgrading them as a part of our continual process to improve our services. This upgrade will be performed tomorrow (February 3rd) between 9 PM and 12 AM EST and the estimated downtime is approximately 15 minutes for each server.

If you have any questions at all about this process, by all means, do let us know.

On Demeter this morning LiteSpeed has crashed twice and failed to auto-restart (which it normally does an exceptionally good job of doing). When it's crashing it's not sending a report nor is it writing anything useful to the log files which is making the issue extremely difficult to track down. We've contacted LiteSpeed support for them to look into the issue and we've also rolled back a version to hopefully avoid any further unexpected crashes.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these crashes are causing and we will have this resolved as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them.

Thank you,

Our network experienced an extremely large inbound DDoS attack that affected our entire network. The networking team quickly blocked the attack to restore network integrity but there are still some accounts that are offline due to being on the targeted/attacked IP. We've worked hard to bring all affected clients back online and have moved all affected accounts to new IP addresses. If you're using external DNS and you need to know the new IP address for your account you can open a support ticket and we'll be happy to tell you the IP (just let us know the primary domain name on the account).

If you are using our name servers (ns1~3.mddservices.com) things should come back online for you automatically anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours from now as DNS propagates.

Hello,

It has come to her attention that some or all of Google services or off-line at this point. One popular service is Google Public DNS, many Web servers around the world, including ours, used their services to change domain names into IP addresses. With Google Public DNS down, services such as pain and him services such as Pingdom will report downtime that does not actually exist.

All of our services are online and fully operational, if you are unable to reach your site – you are likely using Google Public DNS. I can only assume at this point, that Google is aware of the issue, and will resolve it very quickly.

If you have any questions about this, please post them here. All support tickets related to this issue, will be directed to this thread.

So I've loved taking pictures for a long time (ever since I can remember) and recently got a really nice camera for Christmas (Canon EOS 60D). I wanted to see if there was anybody else on the forums that also were photographers (hobbyist or professional).

If you're a photographer for fun or employ, post up!
