Server Maintenance: VPS, Managed VPS, Dedicated, and MySQL Servers

What to do

• Check whether you use DreamHost Web Services. Check your stack

  Paste a package.json, lockfile, Terraform or a list of domains at down.guide/stack to see every provider you depend on.

• Switch to another region or a fallback provider while it is open, if you have one.

  Otherwise back off retries and queue work, so you don't add load while it recovers.

• Watch DreamHost's own updates; this page re-reads them every minute.

• Subscribe to DreamHost's feed to hear about the next one first. RSS feed

  https://down.guide/feed?provider=dreamhost works in Slack (/feed subscribe), Discord feed bots and any RSS reader.

   We're performing rolling restarts across our VPS, Managed VPS, Dedicated, and MySQL database servers to apply important updates. Websites and services on those servers may be unavailable for about 5 minutes while their server restarts. Sites that use a DreamHost MySQL database may briefly show database connection errors during this time. No action is needed on your end. We'll update this post once the restarts are complete.
