Shanghai server downtime notice

March 4th, 2008 shadmin

As you may have noticed if your site is hosted on our China servers, our Shanghai-hosted sites were down from late Sunday afternoon throughout Monday. This was due to a server suspension notice that came after some user hosted on the same IP range in the China Telecom datacenter (not from our company however), where our server resides, was found to have uploaded some “unauthorized” content. SinoHosting.net apologizes for the downtime caused, but it was beyond our scope of influence.

Sites are back online now, if you continue to experience any problems make sure to contact us immediately.
