We were facing an intermittent problem with MySQL causing too many sleep queries. We are working on solving this. It is not effecting functionality but causes some sites to stop working temporarily.

Some of our web sites were effected due to a database load issue that was immediately attended to by our engineers. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Our DNS provider in SA experienced a power and generator failure which resulted in loss of DNS services for 56 minutes. This might have caused temporary issues with web sites and e-mail delivery.

We had a series of hardware failures leading to extended downtime. Our engineers are presently attending and we apologize profusely for any inconvenience.

We are facing an intermitant problem with MySQL and SQLYog software causing too many sleep queries. We are working on solving this. It is not effecting functionality but causes some sites to stop working temporarily.

Update:

There is a minor bug with SQLYog  6.6 which causes too many connection error when the program crashes. We suggest people using SQLYog to download the latest version SQLYog 7.1 which doesn't give any problem.

There was a minor DNS conflict on our server that affected a few of our domains. The conflict is now resolved and there should be no DNS problem with any of our domains now.

We are facing a issue with reverse DNS that might effect some domains that are registered independently.
