Our Technical Operations team has identified the root cause of the connectivity issues impacting VPS services hosted on the following iad1-vpshost-g3-13, iad1-vpshost-g3-14, iad1-vpshost-g3-15, and iad1-vpshost-g3-16 host machines. A fix has been implemented, and we are actively monitoring service recovery across affected systems. During this recovery process, we also identified a separate issue impacting some customers who were affected by this VPS incident. Panel services such as adding new sites for hosting via the DreamHost web panel may be limited.  This has been confirmed as a panel related bug, and our teams are actively working to restore full panel functionality. We'll continue to closely monitor both the VPS recovery and the panel services, and will provide additional updates as more information becomes available.
