We're currently experiencing high amounts of traffic flooding into our network. Our engineers are working to resolve this currently.

You've services may be latent as a result.

10:53 - This issue is still on going as our engineers continue to find the issue.

Update 11:25: The network has been stable for the last 10 minutes since 11:15. We found the destination of the attack and blocked it within our network. Normally this would be much quicker to do and we're going to investigate ways to find these types of attacks quicker so that they are less troublesome.

Currently the shared IP address of pemlinweb32 is blackholed and as such no traffic can get to it. This IP is 81.17.254.44 so if your site is still down this is why. We'll hopefully get a resolution for this shortly and we'll get this back up and running also. Thank you for your patience.

Update 15:40
Access to pemlinweb32 81.17.254.44 is now restored. Thank you for your patience.
