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.

Jiangsu Telecom Datacenter Upgrades

January 20th, 2009 shadmin

Jiangsu Telecom datacenter, where we host our Linux servers, is undergoing a major upgrade of its system this morning. While this means increased reliability and scalability for our servers from now, unfortunately some of our clients sites might experience downtime issues while the upgrades are going on. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
We expect everything to be back to normal between 9:00 and 11:00AM.

On the other hand, if your IP address was 221.130.199.43, this IP needs to be changed to 221.181.67.173. If your DNS is controlled by SinoHosting then the update would have been done automatically.
