Marapets is now back to normal. A week ago our DNS crashed while under attack and because it was old, we upgraded it. While upgrading that, our load balancer - which was even older and has been running constantly without any downtime for 8 years and 7 months - crashed too. It took hours to get it back online and fix it but after a couple of hours it was clear that it was dying and needed replacement. For no reason at all, as you may have noticed the past few days, it would work as normal and then suddenly lag, hang or timeout. This has been happening for the past few days, getting worse every hour - we were literally watching its disks fail one after one.
Finding a replacement this fast was not easy, especially being a weekend and getting it set up and installed this fast was not easy or cheap! However, its done and we are now finished. It is brand new, faster and more reliable. We have also put a second one on order for redundancy in the future, so if one fails we have the other for backup. Thanks for your patience :)
