Sometime before the end of the month, we will move all clients to a new server.

The reason behind the migration is for hardware and software upgrades. The connection speed is being upgraded, as well as the servers hardware. Server migrations do not take long. We will migrate all accounts on SVR1 at once, and late at night, so you will not lose any data while working on your site. We plan on starting the migration around 9-10PM MST. During the migration, your site will not be down, and you should not receive any notifications from any monitors. The site will stay up.

Currently, the new server is being configured and optimized. So you will remain on SVR1 until the process is complete. Once the setup is complete, and the server is tested, another email will be dispatched regarding the specific date of the account migrations.

After all accounts are ported over, a backup will be taken of SVR1, and sent to SVR2. If your site was modified while it was on SVR1 during the transfer, then you can submit a restore request, and we will restore the backups that were taken from SVR1 right after the account migration.

Also, to help minimize the downtime, we will have SVR1 point ALL DNS records, to SVR2, meaning, if your DNS has not propagated yet, and you are still looking at SVR1, then SVR1 will be forwarding you to SVR2

If this causes any problems for you, please open a ticket via http://amphosted.com/billing, and we will do the best we can do make this move work for everyone.

Once again, this will NOT result in any data loss, or any downtime.
