However, if you notice any issues, let us know.

One of the database maintenance scripts needed a parameter tweaking as the database has been growing somewhat rapidly lately. This was changed, scripts have been re-run, and all is back up to speed – if anyone notices any issues again, let us know asap!

This won’t affect email or photolist customers. Apologies for the inconvenience though!

This should be seamless, but we will be disabling ftp access on the old servers before we start.

There shouldn’t be any downtime for your websites, but there will be an hour or so when your email is inaccessible whilst it is moved over, but we will ensure all incoming email is queued during this time so nothing will be lost, and performing it at a “quiet” time to avoid disruption.

When this is complete we will be taking the opportunity to change the control panels we offer, which we hope will improve things for you, as well as offering a range of managed virtual private servers if you require dedicated resources.
