Date: 16 July 2008 7:04 pm On 25th July our host will be moving all us to a new server, during this time OWS and its services (Master Server) will be down. Work should start around 14:00 GMT and end at 22:00 GMT. In our hosts words: Quote: We've been working recently to improve our server infrastructure, and as part of that work we will be performing a migration of all data to new servers. This work is necessary for us to be able to scale our services in the future, and to help make sure that the services we offer are on par with what is expected from a modern web hosting company. Most customers will not have to do anything, but customer web sites will be unavailable while their data is being moved. Comments (1) - View Comments | Post Comment
