This problem had to be corrected by the bandwidth provider, so it was completely out of our control. We apologize for the inconvenience. There are still local switching problems affecting MySQL access. I am still working on locating the source of the problem and getting it resolved. PSoft has recently released a second patch for H-Sphere which fixes several minor bugs. We will disable the control panel for approximately 10 minutes at 12 AM Eastern Time on Saturday morning to perform the upgrade.</div>
