iByte

Byteact and i.create free hosting were both affected by a rather large power spike that affected the entire datacenter and crashed a number of our servers and corrupted a number of databases, namely service related ones.

The outage lasted for about one hour (9:20~10:40am EST) and resulted in a number of other issues popping up throughout the hosting network after it was remedied including issues with MySQL and DNS systems.

We have (hopefully) caught all the glitches caused and remedied the problem, we also are working with our datacenter technicians to prevent a recurrence of this problem in the future. Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this issue and we hope to have it fully resolved in the coming days and protected against.
