With over 400 hosted websites, the main untergrund.net server (the one serving HTTP content) has reached its limits. We are now in the processing of setting up new, powerfull hardware
which will be able to host a multiple of that. While we are setting up the new hardware and migrating existing sites, we sadly aren't able to accept requests for new account
registrations. We expect to be able to create new accounts again from August on. We'll keep you update while things progress. Existing users will be informed about the
implications once we get into migration phase. - The move to the new hardware has been postponed. Registrations are enabled again for now.

We've finished upgrading the system. Performance for many services should be much better, we've now again got plenty of disk space available. Also the user web statistics system has been improved.

As announced to untergrund.net users by email, today (Wednesday) we'll finish installing another dedicated RAID storage array to the system. Especially in the evening time CET there
might be some maintenance downtime of some services. User FTP uploads will be disabled from aprox 20:00 till 23:00. FTP download performance might be degraded, some
FTP mirrors might be out of service.

Due to a shortage on storage space, we currently are not able to create new accounts. We are working on setting up another RAID array which
will add another 2TB of space in mid December 2007. If you request an account now, your request will not be processed until then.

Since today, untergrund.net is running on new servers in a new datacenter. Please report any problems you encounter to
hostmaster@untergrund.net.
09-22-2006
We are currently in the process of moving untergrund.net to new, faster
servers in a new datacenter. Until this move is done, registration of new user accounts is blocked. There also will be some
outages. We expect the move to be done by Monday, 25th September. See below for more details.

During the next 2 weeks, untergrund.net will be moved to new servers
As you may have noticed, untergrund.net grew very popular during the
last months. Right now we are hosting over 230 scene-related websites,
with about 5 new sites added each week. The server used is at the
peak of load it can handle. You may have noticed those server lags
yourself already...
To ensure that untergrund.net can keep growing and to optimize the
performance, the whole system will now be moved and upgraded.
During the next 2 weeks, the following things will happen:
untergrund.net will move to scamp's datacenter in Frankfurt/Main which
has an excellent infrastructure: 2 direct uplinks to the DECIX,
germanys internet exchange, which is just a few meters away. 24h
monitoring, remote management, all server components are redundant
(disks, CPUs, power sources) etc yaddayadda. Enterprise elite super
überhosting. ;)
The system will be split onto several servers. The main server will be
used for HTTP. The server hosting this will be a hot-swap SCSI hardware
RAID system with fucking great disk performance.
MySQL will be hosted on another server, same goes for the mail server.
FTP will keep using our mirroring system, so the FTP load will be
spread to 6 FTP servers at different locations.
Current untergrund.net users will be informed about the whole process in detail
by email during the next few days. We'll also send advance notices for all expected
outages during the move.

Lot's of new features added - we are happy to announce that untergrund.net has again improved service to its users. Here are the new features:
pubftp directory for every user - Files that are moved here are available through anonymous FTP at ftp.untergrund.net and its mirrors.
SMTP and POP3 via SSL - You may now send and receive your emails through SSL-encrypted connections.
SSL/HTTPS supported for all webspace accounts - Your untergrund.net webspace now also is reachable through the secure https protocol - with a valid officially signed certificate.
...and a few bugs in the registration system got fixed, too ;)

untergrund.net banners now available - thanks to ace'r'us and rais, we now finally have a few untergrund.net banners available for use on your home page. So if you wish to support untergrund.net, link to us!
07-31-2005
Banner artists needed - we are in need for a few untergrund.net banners to be used for linking to our site. They should be in standard scene banner sizes: 420x60, 170x30, 88x31. Most importantly we are looking for a "Hosted by untergrund.net" banner in 88x31. Please scamp@untergrund.net if you feel like helping out.
07-31-2005
Untergrund.net now got officially launched, and announcements got posted to the most important scene sites. And the feedback is great - tons of new users are subscribing. Welcome home, guys!
The beta-phase of untergrund.net is over - the system has been proven to be highly stable. Hooray!
05-25-2005
Today we've moved the last and biggest site from the old unet1 server - breakpoint.untergrund.net. Next weekend, the old server will be shut down, burnt to the ground, tortured - and well, basicly it will get removed ;)
That's why we'd like to repeat: Users of the OLD untergrund.net server: This is your very last chance to backup old files from that server!
04-23-2005
We are about to launch our service very soon now - currently all hosted sites from the old server are moved here. Expect a public announcement about
untergrund.net soonish.
