Hi,
A bug¹ has been discovered in Xen which has serious security
implications, therefore we must patch and reboot every host before
the security advisor comes out of embargo on 4 April.
We'll be sending out notifications shortly to let you know the exact
window in which the reboot will take place for your VPS(es), but
this is just a short note to let you know that the work will most
likely be taking place in the early hours (UK) of 30 March, 31 March
and 1 April.
A reminder that if you wish you can have your VPS suspended to and
then restored from storage, instead of shut down and booted:
