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.

Web: Frankfurt High load on opal15

opal15.opalstack.com (Frankfurt shared hosting) is currently experiencing heavy load. We're working to resolve it at this time.

  • We've identified the cause of the problem and have taken measures to mitigate it as of about 3 hours ago. The server has been stable since that time.

  • The high load was caused by heavy CPU usage from the MariaDB service. We're still working to identify the exact cause but the server is stable at this time.

    Web: Washington D.C. MariaDB down on opal10

    At this time the MariaDB service on opal10 is offline. We're working to restore service and will update this post when more information is available.

  • The recovery is complete and the database service is back online.

  • We've been unable to recover the MariaDB service in-place, so we're restoring the service from the most recent backup which was completed about 13 hours ago at 04:21 UTC.

    The estimated recovery time is 4 hours or less. We'll update this post when more information is available.

  • The MariaDB InnoDB store on opal10 is corrupted. We're still working to recover but do not have an ETA at this time.
