The issue was initially misdiagnosed as a drive failure, which led to an extended delay while we requested remote hands at the data center to replace the suspected faulty drive. Further diagnosis revealed the actual cause. We adjusted the BIOS settings accordingly, then gracefully recovered and resynced the RAID array on the node.
All of the VMs are back up since 00:04 AM UTC, and all customer data is safe. However, we strongly recommend running a file system check on any virtual machines hosted on ams-9950x-odessana to rule out any latent issues.
We sincerely apologize for the disruption and the extended downtime. We will be providing two extra days of service time to all customer services that were affected by this outage.
Affected cluster nodes:
fra-9275f-odessana
fra-9555p-rooki
fra-9375f-budget-2
fra-9334-budget-3
Separately and unrelated to the incident above, our Netherlands location experienced an issue with the VM platform that caused a partial networking malfunction, resulting in outages on:
ams-9575f-vulpes
ams-9575f-odessana
This has already been resolved and no further action is required.
ℹ️ This is an unplanned incident. No action is required from customers at this time. We will automatically provide two extra days of service to all impacted customers as compensation for this incident.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. This incident was not something we could have anticipated. The issue has already been resolved, and our team has restored full performance across all affected nodes.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Update: The power maintenance at our fra-9950X cluster has been completed ahead of schedule. Power is restored, all affected nodes are back online and VMs are already starting up.

On August 27th, 2026, our datacenter in Frankfurt will carry out planned maintenance on part of the facility's power distribution as part of an ongoing modernization of the site's power supply. A number of our German cluster nodes are located in the affected area and will need to be powered down for the duration of the work.
The maintenance is scheduled for August 27th, 2026, from 11:00 AM UTC and is expected to be completed by 4:00 PM UTC.
To prevent any risk of data loss or filesystem damage, we will cleanly shut down all VPS instances on the affected nodes shortly before the power shutdown at 11:00 AM UTC. Power is expected to be restored from approximately 1:00 PM UTC, after which the affected nodes will be brought back online one by one. Customers should therefore expect their VPS to be offline for several hours during this window.
No action is required from clients. All virtual servers will automatically come back online once their host node has been powered up and verified.
This maintenance affects the listed VPS nodes only. All of our other services and locations remain fully operational and are not impacted in any way.
Affected cluster nodes:
fra-9950x-otocyon
fra-9950x-urocyon
fra-9950x-chama
fra-9950x-bengalensis
fra-9950x-rooki

Starting today, August 27th, 2026, we are beginning a major infrastructure upgrade at our Finland location. All of our servers in Helsinki will be relocated into our rack and connected to our own network equipment.
This move is a necessary step for the further development of the location. It gives us direct control over the network, allowing us to significantly improve connectivity, increase capacity and roll out further improvements to the location going forward.
The maintenance begins on August 27th, 2026 and is estimated to be completed by September 4th, 2026.
The relocation will be carried out node by node. Each cluster node will be cleanly shut down, physically moved into our rack, reconnected to our equipment and configured, after which all virtual servers on that node will become reachable again. Estimated downtime is between 2 and 4 hours per cluster node, though a faster turnaround is possible.
As the physical transfers are performed by datacenter engineers, we are unable to provide strict per-node timetables. Transfers will be carried out during daytime hours and completed before peak hours (8:00 PM UTC) in order to minimize inconvenience for our customers.
No action is required from clients. All virtual servers will automatically come back online once their host node has been relocated, reconnected and verified. We do recommend ensuring that your software is configured to start automatically after a reboot.
This maintenance affects the listed Finland VPS nodes only. All of our other services and locations remain fully operational and are not impacted in any way.

The urgent security maintenance is now fully completed. All cluster nodes have been patched, rebooted, and are operating normally.
Rather than taking everything down at once, we worked through each cluster node one by one - this kept simultaneous downtime across affected nodes to a minimum and let us apply the necessary changes precisely on each host. Because of the nature of the fix, some nodes required structural changes and took longer to process than others, so thanks for bearing with us while that was done carefully across the fleet.
This addressed a recently disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability, Januscape (CVE-2026-53359). In simple terms: it's a flaw in KVM, the technology that keeps each virtual server isolated from the physical host and from other customers on the same machine. Under specific conditions, it could let a malicious VM break out of that isolation and compromise the host, if nested virtualization was enabled on the host. It had gone unnoticed for ~16 years (!) and affects both Intel and AMD systems.
We have no indication it was ever exploited on our infrastructure — this was a proactive patch applied as soon as fixes landed, which required a kernel update and reboot on each node.
No action is required from clients. Everything is back online.
If you run into any issues, reach out to our support team and we'll be glad to help.
