Hong Kong server maintenance notice

March 19th, 2009 shadmin

The datacenter our Hong Kong server is hosted at will be performing some maintenance tasks on the 23rd of March 2009 between 1:00AM and 5:00AM Hong Kong time. During this time, there might be brief interruption of service and short-time network instability. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Change of IP address – China Linux server

March 11th, 2009 shadmin

Due to one site being found to have unlawful contents, the datacenter has received instructions to shut down the server with the IP address 221.181.67.173. We have completed the move for all sites hosted on that server to a new IP address, which is 221.181.67.170.

If you were on this IP address and manage your own DNS, you will need to update it to this new address. If your DNS is managed through SinoHosting however (ns3.sinohosting.net / ns4.sinohosting.net), you don’t need to do anything at your side our admins will be doing the necessary records updates later today.

Sorry for the downtime caused but these are the issues for hosting a website in China.
