Announcements

A very serious event occurred in one of our datacenters this evening. All power was lost. This is an extraordinary event and it took the DC operators a bit of time to figure everything out and for us to subsequently restore services. The infrastructure is now operational and all those VPSs which were effected should be up and running. Please notify us of any discrepancies or failures of service. We will have stern word with our DC provider and ask for explanations and assurances. We will then relay those assurances to our customers.

We have a machine down. We are working on repairs, we ask for your patience and we apologize for the inconvenience. 1984 systems administrators.

Finally, finally, the report on the system crash 1984 Hosting Company experienced in November of 2017 is ready. It has been tough for a small company to conduct an investigation into such a complicated issue. Hence the delay of this report for which we apologize. But here we finally are.

Report about the 15th of november 2017 system crash.

Our service went out somewhat briefly 11 July 2019. From 6-7 pm GMT our Upstream network provider had an electrical outage that affected their core equipment. Unfortunately 1984 and our customers were effected by the outage. Service was restored at 18:50 GMT and has been running bjútífully since. We apologise for any inconvenience.

We hereby announce a systems incident spanning the time frame from April 11th to May 29th 2019. A default setting in a new web mail client which in some cases caused outgoing mail not to be saved to the "Sent" folder, as tradition dictates. This setting was discovered in the late afternoon on May 27th and reparation was finalised at 10.04 GMT on May 28th. This setting may have effected the saving of outgoing mail from mail users using the web mail client named "Try the new beta Roundcube!" from April 11th to May 24th on the 1984 webmail site and those that used the default web mail client from May 24th until 10.04 on May 28th. The 1984 Sysops Team

Tomorrow, Thursday the 23rd of May 2019, between 10:00 and 12:00 GMT, an emergency maintenance procedure will be performed on a limited amount of network equipment in our data center. If you are hosted on that equipment you will receive an email today. We do not expect this maintenance procedure to have any effect on services or connectivity, however this announcement is sent for your information and in the unlikely event of any unforseen incident during the maintenance procedure.
