Maintenance ended

Updated
Jul 9, 2026 at 11:12pm UTC

Maintenance has completed successfully across all VPS nodes (hypervisors), including Budget VPS, Premium VPS, and Extreme VPS.

We want to apologize for the lack of communication and support in the last 24 hours, we were focusing on this maintenance to be completed as soon as possible.

In some cases where our scripts encountered difficulties, disconnections lasted up to 2 hours. We apologize for the extended downtime on those nodes.

If your VPS is still offline, try to reboot it from the Control Panel.

During this maintenance we:

Patched the Januscape (CVE-2026-53359) vulnerability and updated nodes to the latest firmware
Migrated node hostnames to a new naming convention to support easier management and our expansion plans
Applied CPU, RAM, and disk optimizations and tweaks
Applied network security hardening and improvements
Added IPv6 support for VPS located in Frankfurt, Germany (currently in beta testing)

Thank you for your patience.

If you are experiencing any issues following this maintenance, please open a support ticket and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

A critical security vulnerability known as "Januscape" (CVE-2026-53359) has been discovered in KVM which is the core virtualization technology powering our infrastructure. The flaw could allow a malicious guest to break out of its VM and cause issues to the host node, so it must be patched across the fleet.

Affected services: all VPS nodes (Budget VPS, Premium VPS, Extreme VPS).

During this window we will restart nodes systematically. Expect roughly 30 minutes of downtime per node while it reboots and applies the fix. We cannot provide an exact time for each individual node. Individual nodes are only affected for their ~30 minute reboot; the window above is the total period across the fleet.

Your VPS should power on automatically once its host node is back. If it does not, start it manually from the Control Panel. Please remember to restart any applications or services you were running.

As part of this remediation, nested virtualization will be permanently disabled on all VPS nodes.

We understand this is disruptive, and we appreciate your patience. Protecting every customer on our platform has to come first.
