Downtimes

Written by Simone

It's been a few days now that I'm experiencing downtimes at night, early mornings.

When I wake up, connect to the VPS and attach to tmux, I am welcomed by these messages in console:

There's no need to say that when this happens, the server is completely frozen and doesn't respond to anything.

I already contacted support, but they didn't investigate at all, I believe. They manually restarted my VPS once and did some pings and connection tests (VNC, SSH) afterwards.. "everything is working fine!"

This last Saturday I was up when it happened, so I did a mtr from my PC to the VPS's IP and logged it, then I sent another email with the output to support.. Still waiting for them to reply, I guess tomorrow (Monday).

Friends like lorenzo and shai are having difficulties too, with the same provider, so I'm not imagining things.

Well, that's all I got to say, will keep you posted if any news.
