Dear Valued Clients,
In our ongoing effort to ensure our customers have the best technology and service, please be informed that we will be replacing our Linux Shared Server [
servers.stpserver10.com - 64.27.52.218] to the latest SSD hardware.
During this maintenance, we will transfer all cPanel accounts along with databases, mailboxes, web-contents, FTP accounts and DNS records to the new server.
During this time, we will add the support for the latest stable PHP version 5.5.XX/5.6.XX on the new hardware.
As we have to meticulously migrate each and every individual site, this upgrade is estimated to be completed in 48 hours. However, your specific downtime will be 60-120 minutes at some point during the scheduled period. We will communicate via email when your site will be queued up for migration.
Maintenance Duration:
19th June 2015 to 20th June 2015 :: Approximately 48 hours
Maintenance Impact & ETA of Outage: This maintenance will affect you only if your websites are hosted under the following servers:
servers.stpserver10.com - 64.27.52.218 >>> How long will this maintenance take and what would be the impact? Although the maintenance will take approximately 48 hours, your specific site will take approximately 60-120 minutes. During this 60-120 minutes, all your services such as Websites, FTP, MySQL and Emails will be inaccessible and down.
After migration, your website may resolve from the old server for several hours or until fully propagated.
>>> How will the PHP versions upgrade affect my current website? 1. You will have multiple choices of PHP versions to select from. Therefore, if you areusing an older version of PHP, either you can upgrade your application to the newer version (which is highly recommended) with the help of your developer OR you can select the appropriate PHP version from the list.
2. However, you are advised to upgrade all your applications to the newer version immediately as the older versions of PHP have reached to end of life.
After this migration, if your website does not come up, please update us.
>>> What are the new features introduced in this migration? We will offer the following new features to our customers without any additional cost:
- CloudLinux: Highly optimized Operating System for shared hosting environment (recommended for Shared hosting to provide secured environment)
