Blacknight Hosting Network Status
Service announcements and related posts from the Blacknight technical team
We are scheduling a maintenance window to add additional network capacity in BT on Saturday morning. This will impact a number of shared hosting services in the 81.17.254.0/23 range. In particular, mail.blacknight.com and ns2.blacknight.com. The maintenance will cause an outage of approximately 60 seconds, during which all IPs in this range will be inaccessible.

We are currently investigating some performance issues on our QMail service which is resulting in slower than usual mail deliveries. Our engineering team are looking into it and we will update this post once we have more information. update 16 :55 : Mail is flowing and performance has improved – we will be rebooting […]
We will be performing essential maintenance on our mailserver cluster, starting at 7am, Friday the 29th of July. All shared email will be affected, including smtp/pop/imap, altmail and Open Exchange webmail clients. These services will be unavailable for the duration of the maintenance window. We estimate this work will take approx 1 hour to complete.
Summary: ox.blacknight.com is being upgraded to version 7.8.x, this requires us to shut it down for a short period of time. Appro. 1 hour. After it has been upgraded we’ll need to update the theme, we’ve done this on our staging environment so we should be able to get it done quite quickly.
