It seems that the network connected to VPOP's system is completely down. This means that no mail or web traffic is making it in or out. We are working with our upstream provider now to get the problem resolved and will post an update here as soon as we have one.
-------------------

UPDATE [9:24am] Things are back up. Although the outage was less than 15 minutes it was a complete outage. I'm still trying to find out the details from our upstream but for now, we're up.

Over the last week we've seen intermittent but severe slowdowns with web site delivery. The problem is with the router of our upstream provider (the company that sells us our internet connection). We have been working steadily to get the issue corrected but response has been slow and no permanent solution has been found.

We are working on multiple solutions now at as great a pace as is possible. As we get more information about our specific course of action I will post the details here.
