Server14 (php4hosting site) migration

We are beginning the migration of data from this server to the new hardware.

Users should not be affected; the planned move is Monday evening. This will cause about 1-2 hours downtime in total.

Primary DNS Server Upgrade

We upgraded the core software running our primary DNS server today, and also upgraded the server it runs from.

This upgrade caused no downtime for customers.

Server14 Update

All files have been recovered and all external services are running (Mail/web/ftp etc..)

Some users instances of MySQL will need manual intervention, but we are working with customers to help them get their sites back up as soon as possible.

We are also installing a new machine to replace the current hardware, and will aim to perform the server swap in the next 7-14 days.

Server14 (php4hosting site) down

The server was running a high load so has been restarted. It will take a few minutes while the disk does its sanity check to ensure data integrity.

Once this is complete the server and all its sites will be back online.

Sorry for any disruption to services

Our First Post

Welcome to our blog (Provided by Google)

As a hosting provider we should provide our own hosted blog; however it
seemed to make sense to have a way of leaving messages for customers in the
event of our network being inaccessible (Hopefully something that doesn't
happen often).

We often develop new backend systems or enhancements that don't effect the
day to day running of our service, its easy for customers to think that we
don't do anything. So this will be our chance to keep in contact, and
provide links to useful software we have tested or installed for other
customers that we feel would be helpful to share.
