All accounts on the server ourbriarpatch.com is hosted on

will be undergo a migration to new hardware at approximately


11PM MST Wednesday February 3rd

We expect the downtime for the account to be 1-2 hours, but could be

completed long before that window.  DNS issues including DNS propagation
will not be an issue with these migrations as all the IPs from the
original server will be moved to the new server as part of the migration.
This upgrade should greatly increase performance for your account.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

Dear Judy,

We're pleased to inform you that your server will be undergoing a major software
upgrade, from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6, within the next 48 hours.

This upgrade includes newer software packages (including Python, Perl and gcc),
as well as all the security and performance benefits that come along with CentOS
6. In addition to this, the server will be redeployed with a different file
system type simultaneously, further increasing performance.

Although a bulk of the upgrades to your server are being done with it online and
functional, in order to safely finalize these changes our Administrators will
need to temporarily take your server offline in the early morning hours. 
Barring any extenuating circumstances this outage should only last about 2
hours.

Please note that while we do not anticipate your software having problems
post-update, it may be required to re-compile any module(s) you are using to
take advantage of the newer included libraries. We suggest reviewing your site
afterward to verify that it is functioning as it should.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

(phone number available in my email from Hosmonster as well as website to contact if neeed. I don't get into the guts of the site).
