We wanted to let you know that the final step in finishing the Data Center move is occurring this weekend. This will involve severing all network ties to the old Data Center. During this transition there will be some downtime for all of our servers.
During the evening of Friday October 23rd starting at 9PM EDT we will be switching all our shared web hosting servers. This maintenance window is expected to last until midnight but all services won’t be down for the whole time. We will be performing the networking changes on several servers at a time and bringing them back online before we move onto the next batch. This means that sometime during this maintenance window access to your websites won’t be possible.
On Saturday October 24th we will also be making some changes to several other servers that will impact some of your services with us . Most notably this will cause a disruption in your email (Exchange / POP3/ IMAP) services. Please note that no messages will be lost during the downtime. They will be queued for delivery once the mail system is back up and running. The maintenance window for Saturday will begin at 6PM and is also expected to last until roughly midnight.
Once these two maintenance windows are over the move from the old Data Center to the new one will be complete. To read more about the move coming to an end please check out our blog. We apologize for any inconvenience that this move may caused over the past month. If you have any questions please contact support at support@mail2web.com.
