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: Washington D.C. MariaDB offline on opal1

The MariaDB database service on opal1.opalstack.com (Washington DC shared hosting) is currently offline. We're working to restore service at this time.

  • We've seen no further issues with MariaDB on opal1.

  • The restore is 100% complete and the server should be online and functioning. We will continue to monitor.

  • The restore is 50% complete.

  • Following the integrity checks the database service remains unstable, so we're now rebuilding the system via a full dump/restore of all data. The database service will be unavailable until the restore is complete.

  • The database service is back online. We're now running integrity checks on customer databases.
