DataCenter Packet Loss Issues
Posted by Nick K. on 16 May 2012 11:47 AM

***Update*** 12:10 PM CST

A Fiber was cut a few miles from one of our datacenters, and this caused the brief outages that some of our customers saw.  The data center is on redundant lines, but it took about 30 minutes to get completely switched over.  Everything should be fine now.

***Update*** 11:45 PM CST

If you are seeing downtimes on your site or emails right now, it is because one of our data centers is having some troubles with Packet Loss and its causing long ping times and troubles with anyone reaching their servers/sites.

They are aware of the situation and assure us that they will resolve this problem in short order.  If you have any other questions, feel free to respond to this notice or email us at support@powersurge.net

We will update everyone when the servers come back online.

Server Outage - Aug 5th 2011
Posted by Nate L. on 05 August 2011 03:41 PM
We are experiencing an issue with our network that is causing several servers to be unreachable.  We are working diligently with our upstream providers to rectify this as quickly as possible.  We ask that during this time, if you are having issues, that you place a support ticket at https://powersurge.net/support.  This way we can track your issue and send you updates.  Please refrain from phone calls and live chats as it takes away technicians from working on the problem.  

Thank you

Latency Issues
Posted by Ryan on 28 December 2010 12:15 PM
As I am sure some of you have noticed, we are having network latency issues at one of our data centers.  We were under the impression that the issue had been resolved by our upstream provider but we are again noticing this latency.  I have notified the upstream provider and they are looking into it again.  We would expect that the network will be up and down until this is completely resolved.  This is affected the following servers:

hardin.surgeservers.net
jefferson.surgeservers.net
brazoria.surgeservers.net
chambers.surgeservers.net
galveston.surgeservers.net
harris.surgeservers.net
liberty.surgeservers.net
orange.surgeservers.net
walker.surgeservers.net

If you are on these servers and you are having problems please rest assured knowing we are doing everything in our power to stabilize them.  We will keep these news article updated as information comes in.

Thank you

DNS Issues - Updated
Posted by Ryan on 29 November 2010 09:12 AM
*****UPDATE TWO*****
The primary DNS server is back online.  We had to assign a new IP address to the primary DNS server which will take some time to propagate. This will not cause any downtime for sites that are currently working, however, if you have a site that is not working this is good news.  Your sites should be back online very soon. If you have tickets open we will continue to respond to them as quickly as we can. If your site is not functioning properly, please contact us at support@powersurge.net and we will investigate immediately. 
*****UPDATE TWO*****

*****UPDATE*****
We are starting to see that the majority of sites that were having issues are coming back online now. If you are still noticing issue with your site or email timing out please try restarting your router and/or modem.  We are standing by.
*****UPDATE*****

It appears that we are having issues with our primary DNS server this morning, ns1.surgeservers.net.  We have confirmed that the secondary DNS server is picking up the zones and 95-99% of all sites are working fine.  There are a few that we are having propagation issues with and we are working on them as quickly as possible.  If you notice that you are having problems please contact us as soon as possible at support@powersurge.net. We will update this new section as soon as we get updates. 

Thank You

Network Connectivity
Posted by Ryan on 20 October 2010 08:39 AM
*****UPDATE*****
"On 10-20-2010 at approximately 08:200 CST, LT Network Engineering was made aware of a high-traffic condition in the Cedar Falls data center. LT Network Engineering engaged our upstream providers to mitigate the attack and to determine those responsible. As of 08:40 CST, the attack has been mitigated and traffic levels have returned to normal. As with all situations of this nature, LT Network Engineering will maintain a heightened level of awareness with respect to this situation and will resume an aggressive resolution posture should that become necessary."

This is the update we received from our Data Center.  It appears, at this time, the network issue has been resolved. Thank you for your patience.  
*****UPDATE*****



We are again having network issues at the Cedar Falls location.  We have contacted our upstream provider and again the issue is not with our immediate network but it is affecting the entire Data Center.  They are working diligently on the issue and should have it resolved very soon.  As we receive updates we will update this news article. 

Thank you
