The end of the road...
|
| After almost 15 years in business, we have decided to close down EuShells.com.
The reason behind the decision is that providing mainly IRC services is no longer a business with a huge market potential, and the expenses and downsides of running the business trumps the benefits. That as well as the lack of time maintaining servers and services and maintaining a customer base.
Furthermore, problems with PayPal deciding to close our business account after 14 years due to the extreme risks involved (really? few euros/month are our primary transfers) and after fighting with them for months without even getting anywhere, we have decided to give up.
We would like to thank everybody ever involved with EuShells.com, that being staff, partners or our very valued customers. We couldn't have done it without you!
We wish all the best for everybody in the future. Take care.
NB: Expired accounts have been terminated or will be in the very near future.
Accounts that still have an active subscription are still active for the time being.
mIRC hosting will also be shut down in the near future. Please make sure you copy out any files you might need. |

Scheduled network maintenance 2015-08-08 00:01 - 03:00
|
Our internet provider will perform maintenance the night between Friday (7th of August) and Saturday (8th of August). It is estimated to take less than 3 hours, and will cause some network drops during the maintenance.
We might schedule some hardware replacement before the network maintenance, if we get the spare parts in time.
That means our equipment will be restarted again.
Sorry for the inconvenience. |

Defective core router at internet provider *UPDATE*
|
Our internet provider has suffered from a defective router, which means our services have been unavailable or unstable since 15:40.
It seems like our services died completely 16:25.
They are working as fast as they can to restore functionality.
Unfortunately the router caused a major impact on their network, hence causing an extended period of downtime.
17:42: The issue has been resolved. |

Network issues
|
We have suffered from network issues from 9:15 until 13:15 (GMT+1). A smaller attack should have been filtered, but for some reason our entire network went black, and not until 13:15 was it fixed.
It was a problem caused by our provider, and we had to await their solution.
We will try to find out what caused such a long Network problem so we can avoid it from happening again in the future.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience. |

Web1 MySQL database problems *Update 1*
|
We are currently suffering from some problems on the MySQL server on web1.eushells.com.
Update 1 at 11:20:
Unfortunately we felt the only data safe way to recover all data was to recover from our backup from last night at 2:38.
That means changes from 2:38 until around 8:00 will be gone due to the rollback.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the data roll back. |

Downtime

We just suffered from roughly 1 hour of downtime due to power maintenance.
Our carrier failed to inform us and our provider about the maintenance, and since not all equipment has redundant power supplies, we suffered from some technical issues.
