Server Migration Schedule
We are excited to inform you that our server is scheduled for migration to a brand new server.
Time : 10/11/2013 to 12/11/2013
This new server offers better performance, dependability, and an updated operating system. This post will explain in further detail the benefits of the migration along with how the migration process will work. If you have any additional questions, feel free to post them in the thread.
If you are one of our clients, then you will receive an email from us when your account begins its migration and when it completes its migration. These migration process will also include the new server's IP address, the new name servers, as well as the new IP addresses for custom name servers.
You are free to continue making updates to your accounts as needed. However, once you receive the notice letting you know your account migration has started, it is best to refrain from making updates until you receive the second email notice letting you know that your migration is completed and you have updated your name servers.
We first wanted to make it clear that we are dedicated to making this migration as seamless as possible. We understand that moving a website to a new server is a big deal, which is why we are taking every precaution imaginable to ensure there is no downtime or configuration issues on the new server.
Operating System Upgrade
All of the servers we are migrating are currently running CentOS 5.10. Once the migration is complete, everyone will be using the latest branch of CentOS 6 or higher. Although you will not immediately notice any big changes in terms of account functionality, this upgrade will make it much easier for us to support newer applications and scripts that depends on other software.
Notification
Before we start the migration process, we will send at least one email warning to each customers. In this phase, we suggest our customers to stop updating their website untill the migration process finish. Once the migration process is finish, we'll send the last email to our customers that inform the migration has finished, so they can continue updating their website.
Early Migration
Although we are confident in our migration system, we completely understand if you are nervous about the server change. If you have an e-commerce or a similar website that receives a lot of traffic during the holiday season, you may request a manual migration prior to the automated migration mentioned above. To request a manual migration, please send us an email to support @ skydevelopment . com and indicate that you would like for your account to be migrated manually before the automated migration.
If you have any other questions please email us - support @ skydevelopment . com
