Thanks for your patience and support for Sh3lls.net

eclipse.sh3lls.net
orbit.sh3lls.net
grid.sh3lls.net
viper.sh3lls.net
thunder.sh3lls.net
storm.sh3lls.net
orion.sh3lls.net
echo.sh3lls.net
dasher.sh3lls.net
astro.sh3lls.net (pending for ram update)

All these servers were rebooted to apply the security patches. As expected there was a downtime of less then 1 minute per server. Now Just astro update is pending as we also want to upgrade the ram for the astro server so we will reboot it once the datacentre techs are even ready with the ram so in a single reboot the OS and Ram both will be upgraded.

During this maintenance we even took opportunity to upgrade all the affected servers to FreeBSD 7.2.
Thanks for your patience and support for Sh3lls.net, your IRC and Web Hosting Provider.

It happened as the datacentre was trying to upgrade their network and get new routers in, but for some reason the new routers were not working the way they were supposed to work. So after messing with them for 24 hours they have decided to switch back to the old routers, which are stable already. So now we can be rest assured that now all servers will be stable again.

If you have any further queries please submit a support ticket or email to support about it.
