We would also like to inform you while we make these changes and move office locations etc we won’t beable to accept any new orders between the dates of 5th July – late August.

The MyDrive File system for business is currently being ddos-ed  at the moment and is causing slight interruption to users trying to login. Although the drive cloud appears to be dealing with it fairly well, we would like make customers aware of this problem and ask to expect slightly longer page loading times and the odd page time out.

Our maintenance team are trying to currently block offending IP’s.

Any more news will be posted as it comes in.

We would just like to mention that the hard drive replacements have been done and all seems good. In total we replaced 8 hard drives.

If customers are experiencing any problems, please email support.

Many Thanks,

Nathaniel McInnes – Managing Director.

It has come to our attention, that a handful of hard drives in our server cloud have failed/show signs of potentially failing soon. Although this is not effecting the cloud. We have just taken the decision to replace these hard drives. Although we do not think this will effect any sites, we would just like to make customers aware that we are doing maintenance work.

We will be carrying the work out between 11:30-14:00 BST.

If any customers do experience any down time or problems with there site, can you please email support IMMEDIATELY as what might be effecting you could be effecting other customers.

I will post a new blog post once the update has been completed.

Due to the extreme popularity of our VPS’s and Dedicated Servers, we have decided to halt orders as we are currently spending most of our time currently looking after these customers and planning our next network expansion.

However, if you have any questions, please email us at sales@chostwales.com.

Just as a quick one to all you folks out there.

server1.uk.vps.chostwales.net tripped for some reason on the power connection resulting in an instant reboot of the node. We had to start all VPS’s manually and all of them should be backup and running now. If not please contact support.

We will provide more information when we can once the Datacentre has investigated this further.

All VPS’s (new plans and old plans) come with burstable ram.

The Bram (as we call it) is exactly the same as your guaranteed ram. So if you are on the 384mb ram plan, you will have another 384mb to use temporally. So you have a total usable of 768mb ram.

server1.backup.chostwales.net  is currently experiencing problems at the moment (hard drive by the looks at it) and we have made the decision to move to a new server. This might mean that the server will be down from between 20:00 – 03:00 BST time.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

We’ve got some freshly baked deals that have just come out of the oven piping hot!. These include:

Double Ram on VPS

20% off all Web Hosting Packages

30% off Reseller Hosting Packages
