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.

Past Incidents

7th January 2024

Web: San Francisco Opal14 is not responding

opal14.opalstack.com is not responding. We suspect the cause is high load. We're rebooting the server at this time and will update this post when the server is back online.

  • Opal14 is back online following the reboot and is operating normally.

    Email: Germany German MX servers are on Hotmail block list

    mx1.de.opalstack.com and mx2.de.opalstack.com are listed on the Hotmail block list. As a result, mail forwarded to Hotmail domains like hotmail.com and outlook.com is being bounced back to the sender.

    We're working to have the servers removed from the block list and will update this post when that is done.

    In the meantime, customers who have forwarding addresses which forward to Hotmail domains are advised to forward to an alternate address or direct mail to an Opalstack mailbox to ensure that they receive their mail. Instructions for updating email addresses are available in our user guide at: Editing Email Addresses

  • The MX servers have been removed from the block list.
