Gamma has been floating a long just fine until the recent Minecraft updates. After those updates filled out, our memory use increased quite a bit… Gamma ended up going over the limit and fell on its face.

You can move off of Gamma. We have space for you in that region ready to go. All you have to do to move is write support at [email protected] and request to be moved to Beta. Your IP/Port will change, but your lag will go away!

Sorry guys! Restart your servers.

At 12am tomorrow (EST GMT-5) we’re going to attempt to switch to our custom kernel build on beta again. This will result in another outage, probably around 30 minutes or so!

We’re sorry in advance. Make sure to save your files and re-start your server after the reboot. We estimate about 30 minutes down time on this one… but it will probably be much less.

This should be the last time we bring this box down for a long time.

Thanks for understanding, everyone on beta.

Update: Kernel is updated and running smooth. Enjoy the better fragging!

We have another box coming to the West Coast, echo.hostedgameservers.com. When this box is up, you can expect to have a nice clean server to migrate into! This will also open up migrations to the West Coast.

More to come on this box when we get and configure it.

We have disk IO problems on Zeta and Gamma due to Minecraft saving! Anyone feel like moving over to beta? Please us the migrate server button in your panel if you don’t mind your IP/Port changing!

All you have to do to un-cancel these days is login to the panel and click the ‘Uncancel this server subscription’ button. No more bothering the support people for you uncancelers!

We’re going to bring beta down and do some kernel hacking tonight at 12am EST (GMT-5). This means your Minecraft servers will be halted and its possible you’ll have data loss. Make sure you do a save-all on your servers tonight before they are brought down.

Minecraft saves every 15 minutes or so on its own, but so you dont loose that work, please do frequent manual saves.

Users on beta will need to restart their server after the down time is complete. This post will be updated with the results. With any luck Beta will be able to support 1000 FPS source servers!

UPDATE: We were unable to get a hacked kernel to boot! We’ll be trying again another time… Thank you for understanding!

Yeah, so the Omega outages were from two IPs DoSing it during the night. Way to try and ruin Christmas. JESUS WAS BORN. DOES THIS MEAN NOTHING TO YOU? Anyway, we blocked the IPs and we’ll keep on truckkin’.Yeaaaa hawwww….

IPs have been complained about formally to their corresponding abuse contacts. I wonder if one of these was the attacker’s house and the other was his server somewhere. haha!

Hey0 is now ready for the masses. You should have just had an email update informing you that Hey0 is ready for installation on your servers – you’ll be able to play again!!!

Prior to this, you may not have been able to connect to your server because your client auto updates and Hey0 requires updating from its creators. Boo! It’s all good now – the wait is over!

Yeah… Omega has some kind of issue. It went down again tonight… Merry Christmas. Blimey.

Restart your servers on Omega dudes.

Any one on the beta box will have to restart their servers when the box is back up.
