Scheduled network maintenance for opal3 and opal8

On 20 August 2026 between 11:00am and 4:00pm PDT (UTC-7) our data center team will be upgrading the racks that host the following servers:

  • opal3.opalstack.com
  • opal8.opalstack.com

During the 5-hour maintenance window, network connectivity to the affected servers will be interrupted for up to 1 hour during which websites and other services hosted on the servers will be unavailable.

Email and DNS services will not be affected.

The hosting control panel will remain online, but will be unable to apply changes to your services until connectivity to the server is restored.

Affected customers who would like have their services relocated to a different server prior to 20 August 2026 should contact the Opalstack support team to make the necessary arrangements.

DNS: USA US DNS under attack

Our US DNS infrastructure under attack, with impacts throughout our hosting services in all regions. We're working to resolve the issue at this time.

  • There have been no further issues since our last update.

  • We've mitigated the worst of the attack and all services are online at this time. DNS lookups are still a bit slow so our troubleshooting is ongoing.
