Parallels, the makers of Plesk server virtualization software, informed us of a required software patch in select versions of their software. This affects some of our hosted websites at our vendor data centers in Houston & Phoenix.
More information from Parallels on this incident is on their website at kb.parallels.com/en/113321
Our engineers are working diligently with Parallels to patch all affected versions of Plesk in a systematic manner. As we progressively take actions recommended by Parallels, it will be necessary to reboot and test the server repeatedly. As this occurs, your website may be offline for approximately 6-8 minutes, and then may appear to run slower than normal as the server restarts its processes.
We are working closely with our vendors to expedite these patches as quickly as possible with least impact to you. Rest assured, no data has been compromised or lost in this incident. This incident may only adversely affect the uptime and speed of your website until the patches are complete.
Thank you for your patience as we work with Parallels to implement their fixes.
