Further to our last post - some more news on our Hosting - which is receiving a major boost in order to improve the performance and reliability of your hosting services.
Migration Date: Sunday 27th November 2011 - 23.30 - 6.00
Some websites hosted will be unavailable periodically while a migration takes place
The MS-SQL Server - which hosts most of our databases - will be migrated to much more powerful hardware running the latest MS-SQL Server 2008 R2.
Migration Date: Thursday 24th November 2011 - 23.30 - 6.00
Expected downtime for SQL Server 2008 databases is up to 4hrs
We will also be replacing more servers this year including those that effect; Helm Control Panel, FTP, Statistics and database management tools and mail servers.
All our web servers will have the same software configuration and as such no changes will needed to be made to website code.
