The servers will need to be powered down to upgrade the ram to faster and increase in ram size.
This upgrade will take place Friday 28th July 2017 between 2pm and 3pm for approximately 15-20minutes.

There has been a reported problem that has been confirmed where server c2s3-ds has issues connecting between some iPrimus/Vodafone and Optus customers.
The problem was originally reported Friday and affected all servers but whilst the problem was soon resolved on the other servers this server c2s3-ds appears to be still having issues with a routing problem.
The fault has been reported to the providers and is currently still listed as being investigated.
Thank you for your patience.
----------
The problem is outside of the data centre so the only way to work around this problem is to change the IP addresses of those clients affected.
This will be done this evening of the 27th Feb and morning of the 28th Feb 2017.
Due to it being outside of my control (of where the fault exists) this is the only option that I am able to perform in order to resolve the connectivity problem some users are experiencing.
There is currently a web server outage on server c2s3-ds and it is currently being investigated.
Thank you for your patience.

According to the logs the problem started happening around midnight when the server software was doing updates and clashed with another part of the server software.
This has now been updated properly and web services have been restored.

Customers on this server are advised that all services will be migrated to the new DELL hardware platform, featuring new hardware and the latest software platform releases.
This will produce numerous performance benefits for your service.
As a result of this move the server IP address will change to 103.9.170.23 and the new server name is C1S4-3M-SYD.
For those customers using secure mail you will need to change the secure SMTP, IMAP and POP3 server address from
From: SYDS6-N1R.hosting-services.net.au
To: C1S4-3M-SYD.hosting-services.net.au
There are some important points to note for the migration:
1.
Following the migration, your service on the old server (SYDS6-N1R) will be locked down to prevent further changes and we will redirect all requests to the new server.
We complete this necessary step to ensure there is no data loss.
As a result your website(s) may appear offline for a short period of time.
2.
If you are using our name servers on your domains, you won't need to make any changes as DNS will automatically update.
However, if you use a 3rd party DNS provider (advanced users), please ensure you update the A records accordingly - the new servers IP address is included above.
3.
If you have an SSL certificate installed on any of the accounts within your service and therefore have a dedicated IP's assigned, these will change as part of the migration - if you need to know your new dedicated IP(s) prior to the migration, please go to http://support.dshost.com.au and open a support ticket.
4.
If you or your clients are connecting to the server for mail and/or FTP using the current server's IP or hostname, please ensure you update your systems to use the new IP or hostname listed above.
5.
At the completion of the migration you may see several hours of downtime as a result of DNS propagation - please refer to point 3 to ensure you have DNS setup appropriately.
6.
Following the completion of the migration you should check over your entire service to ensure all data and settings are present.
If you have any custom DNS records, please check your DNS zone upon completion of the migration to ensure records have been adjusted by the automated cPanel migration process correctly.
if you notice any issues please contact our team who will be able to assist with any data management and availability concerns.
Updates will be available on the support website:

Due to a software upgrade that needs to be done on Earth server we have chosen Sunday 9th May 2010 evening between 8pm and 10pm AEST to perform necesary server updates.
** UPDATE ** due to other updates we have had to do leading up to 8pm we will push forward the updates to 10pm through to midnight.
Some users will experience problems:
"Internal Server Error" or similar error message
or "Permission denied" error message
Please let us know via support@dshost.com.au and please be patient as we will fix the permissions on files in your website as soon as possible.
The update takes 1minute to perform but the changes we need to make to permissions of files and folders could take up to 2hrs for our technical staff to change to the new required settings.
Technical Informations Web Developers and Technicians need to know.
There are some changes to our server that you need to know:
Files will need to be owned by the individual that owns that domain account and files owned by "nobody" will no longer be usable.
Files will GROUP or OTHER permission set to write for any php file or folder or the script will fail.
Scripts using FTP settings will now be able to function correctly without the FTP settings enabled, this includes scripts such as WordPress, Joomla, Mambo, Magento, SugarCRM and vTiger installations.
What will this mean and why is it different to how we are setup now?
1) Permissions problems are normally caused by the web server not using the right ownership of a file when creating the file, so this means that this will no longer be a problem.
2) Performance, the speed compared before and after should be minimal.
3) If a website is exploited less damage is possible to the server.
4) Users using up too much system resources can be controlled more so that their websites do not interfere with other users websites.
What recent updates have already been performed?
1) SQL Insertion preventative measures.
2) POST bomb prevention measures.
3) Site flooding prevention measures.
4) CPU hog / script loop prevention measures.
5) MySQL over usage of memory by buggy scripts prevention measures.
6) Spam bot posting prevention measures.
7) BOMB attack prevention measures.
Apache will not be upgraded to the latest version due to Joomla and Mambo not being compatible to Apache's latest versions.

We are in the process of adding some extra functions to support some newer clients applications, these updates should not cause a problem to any sites currently hosted but if you spot a change please notify us immediately.
Thank you,

We need to reboot Earth server so it will be offline for about 10-15mins whilst it reboots we would normally wait to do this through the night but need to correct our server licence problem.
Thankyou for your patience.
