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

Control panel delays for MariaDB items on opal16

We are importing a large MariaDB database for a customer on opal16 at this time. The large import is putting heavy load on MariaDB which may result in a delay when creating/deleting new MariaDB databases/users and when changing MariaDB passwords.

We expect the import to be complete by 0300 UTC on Monday 25 March 2024 but hopefully sooner.

  • There have been no further delays.
