Like any hosting company we need to perform network maintenance and server maintenance occasionally and when we do we will be sure to inform you via email that we are going to do so.
If an emergency situation occurs where we need to perform maintenance without formal notice, we will update our status page and we will let you know full details once the issue has been resolved.
