Dear Brainwrap Client--
I'm happy to report that the extreme server load spike issue from a few days ago seems to have been successfully resolved.
There appear to have been 2 different issues which combined to cause this incident:
Attention Brainwrap Hosting Client:
We have identified that part or possibly all of the issue on the server today has been related to extremely (and unusually) high outbound email volumes.
LiquidWeb (the host server provider) is researching the issue in more detail to determine exactly what the source of the outgoing email is so that it can be more proactively managed.
LiquidWeb is also continuously monitoring the server to ensure that there are no further service outages.
I will send another status update once I have further information.
To all Brainwrap hosting clients--
As you may be aware, at around 11:25am this morning, there was some sort of heavy traffic/load spike on the server which has been causing serious issues with loading your website and/or email services.
I have been working with LiquidWeb's tech support staff to resolve this issue for the past 4 hours, and hope to have a resolution soon. They have escalated the situation to their senior-level technician, and are supposed to be updating me with a status report as soon as possible.
I apologize for this service disruption and will contact you with a follow-up message as soon as I have news to report. This is the only issue I will be working on until it is resolved.
Dear Brainwrap Client:
I do my best not to mix politics with my business, and hope to never have to do so again. However, there are currently 2 bills pending in the United States Congress that directly threaten both my business and yours. I've decided that this is too important not to bring to your attention.

Speaking of which, I'm happy to announce the arrival of a new client site and revamps of two existing ones! But first... |
