Update Los Angeles DC

We wanted to provide an update on the network outage from last week.

While we have kept some ancillary services in our current LA data center, shortly after it was determined that the network issue that plagued our number 1 shared hosting server was NOT going to be resolved in a timely fashion, we moved all users and sites to another server in New York.  We have replaced the LA server with one in our Atlanta DC and will gladly migrate customers to it who wish to  have their sites moved.  For now, everything is status quo.  The last hiccup on the new Atlanta server regards SSL certificates... we're reinstalling those services, and should have everything secured in a few hours.

Any questions, feel free to e-mail us or open a support ticket.

Network issues affecting Los Angeles Datacenter

There is currently an upstream provider outage affecting customers on one of our CPanel shared servers in Los Angeles.  (https://cpanel.ruggieroav.net).  It is being investigated.  As e-mail and some other services are routed to other servers, not all clients may be affected.  Nonetheless, we thank you for your patience while this is worked out.  We will post again when service has been restored.

Email behavior changes

A slight change in our SPAM filters may show mixed results over the next few weeks.  All newly-created e-mail accounts will honor functionality that moves any suspected junk email to a designated SPAM folder, although our legacy webmail client may not allow the direct MARKING of junk mail that slips past our filters.  This will be fixed in the coming months.  In the meantime, please periodically check the SPAM folder in webmail (if you see TWO such folders, check the one that is lowercase only), and move any non-junk messages to your inbox.

The SPAM folders on all accounts will be emptied on a monthly basis.

Thanks for your understanding and let us know if you have any questions.

Main ruggieroav.com web server down, no ETA as to resolution

Earlier today we noted that the server hosting our main website at www.ruggieroav.com is down.  Technicians are working on the server but have not exactly been transparent about an ETA to a fix.  No customer sites have been affected.  We will restore access to our main website as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your patience.

Email migrations completed

At this time all customers who have mail hosted with us have been transitioned to our newest server, and have been given the proper access instructions, which are also available here. We now offer multiple web based clients, secure access, and easy mobile setup.   There were some early glitches with changing over our primary webmail client but those have been smoothed out.  If you have any questions, please let us know.

Transitioning to new SSL Provider

If you see an error when connecting to a secure site hosted on one of our servers, it is due to a maintenance-in-progress that we are carrying out.  The errors should resolve themselves in 12-24 hours.  Meanwhile it is safe to proceed to your given website to fill out a form, check your e-mail, etc.

EDIT:  As of 11pm EST on December 5, 2018, the majority of the SSL renewals have already propagated, faster than we anticipated.  Thanks for your patience!

More network issues, affecting mail server

This morning we have been observing multiple network "flaps" - up and down incidents - affecting connectivity to our soon-to-be retired mail server.   The system itself is unaffected.  We apologize for the inconvenience.  Users on our new server are unaffected, and we encourage migration now more than ever.

Please contact us if you have any questions or problems.
