Hi guys, The hosting company where the new server is located is going through a round of upgrades including physical hardware relocation to their new facility. This means our server will need to be powered down for a while (estimated two hours or less but their total maintenance window is 8 hours).
The outage window itself is June 5, 2013 between 8:00 PM and 4:00 AM PDT. Our account is also eligible for a free upgrade which also will shut the machine down and migrate to their new facility. This combined upgrade & relocation will take an estimated 3 hours but if it's done before June 5, we are in control exactly when it happens and not have to deal with an entire 8 hour window. I plan to take advantage of this upgrade and initiate it some time late at night when the server usage is at its average lowest point (starting at around midnight PDT). A likely day will be on a weekend day. I will confirm the exact time of this happening. I have to prepare ahead of time to ensure no DNS outages will occur, etc. The upgrade itself will double the amount of RAM (from 4 GB to 8 GB). Disk space and monthly bandwidth remain unchanged but they are more than sufficient for our purposes already. Stay tuned for more details coming soon.
