Maintenance Window:
September 19, 2009 09:30:00 P.M. EST — September 19, 2009 10:00:00 P.M. EST

Our web server is scheduled to have its memory doubled during this maintenance window.  Web hosting services including web sites, FTP, and MySQL databases will be unavailable while the server is down for this hardware upgrade.  Email and WebMail/WebAide services will be unaffected.

The server memory upgrade will serve to increase the performance of our server and everything running on it and will serve as a buffer to help prevent excessive use or bursting activity of some customers from affecting server performance and uptime for other customers on the server.
