XILO News and Status

We’ll be conducting routine maintenance on Indigo this evening. During the maintenance period we’ll be removing it from the cluster that it is currently located on.

The reason for this is that after the issue 2 weeks ago with our cluster, we have decided to revert back to our standard configuration of hosted servers so that such an outage is avoided in the future.

We’ll be starting the work at 11pm GMT this evening and we expect to be completed by 3am. Although the window is 4 hours, we expect the work to be completed in a much shorter period.

During the period, we will be disabling the following services to prevent any differences in data during the migration;

• FTP
• SMTP
• POP3/IMAP
• SCP(SSH)

Please accept our apologies for the short notice for the work. This is due to a few residual issues that are causing higher than normal loads on Indigo.

If you have any questions, please do contact us via My XILO.
