Hosting provider ESTT reports an outage: client services hit

Russian data center and hosting provider ESTT reported a technical failure on November 9 that disrupted its client services. The company published the notice on its official website.

The engineering team is working to fix the problems and return systems to normal operation. ESTT said it understands the importance of uninterrupted service availability and promised to publish updates as work progresses. The company has not yet disclosed the cause of the failure, the scale of the impact or the timeline for full recovery.

A hosting provider runs its clients’ websites and servers on its own infrastructure, so a failure on its side immediately affects their availability. That is why, in incidents like this, clients usually look first for a timeline and a cause, and ESTT has not named either yet.

A week earlier, another Russian hosting provider, Beget, reported a large-scale cyberattack that also disrupted a number of its services. KRAKOBIT has already covered Beget’s report of cloud data loss affecting VPS, S3 and Kubernetes. No link between Beget’s case and the ESTT failure has been established.
