As you probably noticed on 23 September the following servers were down for about 6 hours:

supremecenter39
supremecenter40
supremecenter41

supremecenter301
The downtime was caused by a power loss. Here is the information that we received from our datacenter:
“The transformer room for the building, where our transfer switch is located is flooded.
From what I’ve been able to gather, is that the building’s fire suppression system has malfunctioned and is pumping water into the underground transformer room, and has caused our equipment, as well as our utility provider’s equipment Centerpoint, to automatically shutdown to avoid damage.
The Houston Fire Department is at the scene now attempting to shut off water flow and pump the water out, so that Centerpoint can begin work on restoring power.”
The datacenter was able to resolve the issue and now the power has been restored. All servers are up and runing.

Our constant efforts continue with the improvements of the web hosting services that we offer. The allowed CPU usage of each and every hosting account has been vastly increased.
The CPU usage stands for the average server load generated by your scripts during a specific time period - an hour, an entire day or a whole month, and is estimated by comparing your CPU time to the total CPU time (100%), which is assumed to be 34560 seconds.
You should often check this value in order to comply with the maximum allowed CPU usage for your particular account type.
The allowed CPU usage has been increased from 3% to 4.5%. We believe that the new value will give you more freedom when you host high CPU consuming applications such as blogs, forums, cms etc. However, you should always check if there are any new versions or security updates for your applications. Usually, the new versions are more optimized than the old ones in terms of resource usage.
