Our public status page shows live uptime data, incident reports and scheduled maintenance for GoZen Host infrastructure.

status.gozenhost.com

Checking Server Status

The status page shows:

  • Current status of the main systems (web hosting, email, DNS, VPS, control panels)
  • Response time graphs for each service over time
  • Recent incidents, with a post-mortem for significant ones
  • Scheduled maintenance windows

Green means the service is operational, yellow means degraded performance, and red means a disruption.

Understanding Response Time Metrics

Each monitored service has response time data on the status page.

What Is Response Time?

Response time is how long a server takes to answer a monitoring probe, measured in milliseconds (ms).

Typical Response Times

ServiceExpected Response Time
Web hosting (static content)Under 200ms
Web hosting (dynamic / PHP / WordPress)Under 500ms
DNS resolutionUnder 10ms
Email (SMTP)Under 100ms
Control panelUnder 300ms

Reading the Graphs

  • Sparklines: the small charts next to each service show response time over the last 24 hours. A flat line near the baseline is what you want to see.
  • Spikes: a short spike that drops back to the baseline is usually a brief network blip. These are normal and don’t always lead to an incident.
  • Sustained elevation: if response time stays high for more than a few minutes, there’s probably a real performance problem and an incident may be opened.

Uptime Percentage

Our target is 99.9% uptime:

UptimeAllowed Downtime (per month)
99.9%43 minutes
99.95%21 minutes
99.99%4.3 minutes

Scheduled maintenance that was announced in advance doesn’t count as downtime. The SLA has the full terms and service credits.


Incident Reports

When something goes wrong, we post an incident on the status page and update it as the work progresses.

Incident Lifecycle

Each incident moves through these stages:

  1. Investigating - we’ve detected or received a report about the issue and are looking into it
  2. Identified - we’ve found the cause and are working on a fix
  3. Monitoring - a fix is in place and we’re watching to make sure the problem doesn’t come back
  4. Resolved - the service is fully restored and the incident is closed

TitleShort description of the problem
StatusCurrent stage (Investigating → Identified → Monitoring → Resolved)
Affected servicesWhich systems are affected
UpdatesTimestamped entries as the situation changes
DurationTime from detection to resolution

Post-Incident Reviews

For significant incidents we publish a post-mortem with:

  • Timeline - what happened, in order
  • Root cause - what failed and why
  • Impact - who was affected and how
  • Follow-up - the changes we’re making so it doesn’t happen again

During an Active Incident

If the status page shows an active incident:

  1. Our engineers are already working on it, so you don’t need to open a ticket for the same issue
  2. Check the incident updates for an estimated resolution time
  3. Avoid changing your site configuration until the incident is resolved, since changes made while a service is unstable can cause new problems
  4. Subscribe for updates if you haven’t already, so you hear as soon as the service is back

If the status page shows everything operational but your site still has problems, the issue may be specific to your account. In that case, contact our support team.


Scheduled Maintenance

We schedule maintenance for security patches, hardware upgrades and infrastructure work.

How We Announce Maintenance

  • A notice appears on the status page at least 24 hours in advance (longer for major work)
  • Subscribers get an email with the start and end times and the expected impact
  • The window is shown on the status page timeline

What Happens During Maintenance

Maintenance TypeTypical DurationDowntime Expected?
Security patches5–15 minutesUsually no (rolling updates)
Software upgrades15–60 minutesBrief, for the affected services
Hardware maintenance1–4 hoursPossible for the affected nodes
Network maintenance30–120 minutesPossible brief interruptions
Infrastructure migration2–8 hoursPlanned and announced well in advance

Most maintenance happens during off-peak hours (typically 02:00–06:00 UTC) and needs no downtime. When a window does need brief downtime, the announcement says so.

After Maintenance

When the work is finished:

  • The status page entry is marked Completed
  • A short summary of what was done is posted
  • Subscribers get a completion email
