[LCH Announce] cloud0.lchost.co.uk maintenance 00:01-03:00

[Phillip Baker]

Hello,

Further to the issue with cloud0 this morning and the general issues over
the past couple of months I am bringing forward the planned migration to new
hardware.

This work will be started at 00:01 on Sunday 7th of January 2007 and should
only take an hour or two to complete, but certainly not longer than 3 hours
- during this time all websites will be offline (a notice will appear
informing visitors of the maintenance) as we have to ensure sites are not
being updated while we are copying data across.

Once the work is completed, the new server will be placed on cloud0's IP and
your sites should reappear as they were.

We apologise for the issues this morning and the short notice of this work
but we want to get the issue with the server cleared up as soon as possible
and we already have the replacement quad-core, raid10 server in the rack
ready to go, so it makes sense to get the work done ASAP to prevent further
unplanned outages.

As always, if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,
Phillip Baker
