17:15 Hetzner is currently experiencing a routing issue in the Samrand data-centre. Connections to some of our servers hosted in that data-centre are affected.  Hetzner engineers are working on the problem.

17:28 The problem has been resolved.

06:54 AM The server Littlefinger (129.232.170.66) is currently experiencing high load which is slowing websites to a crawl. We are working on fixing the issue.

07:38 AM Server load has dropped to acceptable levels. We will be monitoring to ensure that the problem doesn’t return.

Baratheon is currently experiencing a problem, with some sites not loading.
We are investigating.

I have found a temporary fix, until cPanel can provide a fix or patch for the problem.

My “temporary” fix appears to be the only fix for this, until Comodo sorts their problem out. Response from cPanel support:

Hi,

I can see you've already corrected this issue:

# grep -i stapl /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/pre_virtualhost_global.conf
SSLUseStapling off

Unfortunately, the 'ocsp.comodoca.com' server is currently facing issues, which would prevent SSL sites from being served. You've disabled SSL Stapling properly. Unfortunately, there isn't much else we can do until Comodo investigates why their OCSP server is not responding.

I certainly apologize for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you have anymore questions or issues.

Thanks,
