Internet connection issue resolved

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:53:00-0700

This morning, some web sites hosted by CHCS were unavailable because one of our servers could not connect to the internet as normal.

The company where the server is located traced the problem to an error caused when they updated their router hardware. They have corrected the issue, and a similar problem should not occur again.

CHCS thanks our customers for your patience and understanding.
