From jonathan at jabwebsolutions.co.uk Fri Oct 5 12:35:01 2007 From: jonathan at jabwebsolutions.co.uk (Jonathan Wright) Date: Mon Nov 19 03:49:13 2007 Subject: Decommissioning alpha.jabservers.co.uk In-Reply-To: <4702A266.2040405@jabwebsolutions.co.uk> References: <4702A131.8050603@jabwebsolutions.co.uk> <4702A266.2040405@jabwebsolutions.co.uk> Message-ID: <47062165.3060205@jabwebsolutions.co.uk> ** Decommissioning alpha.jabservers.co.uk As part of our continuing assessment of the systems and services, we have decided that it is time to de-commission alpha.jabservers.co.uk. One of our first servers, it has long been succeeded by our co-location facilities and the Dell servers we have used for the last two years. Better tailored, they offer our customers a faster base on which to operate their site and as well as added protection and improved features. Therefore, starting from October 15th (week Monday), we're going to begin the process of moving customers from alpha.jabservers.co.uk to gamma.jabservers.co.uk. This will be done using the Plesk Migration Manager, allowing us to completely port a whole site over in one go, preserving all files and settings (such as e-mails and passwords). More information about the Plesk Migration Manager, the process in general, as well as some of the main issues that can crop up as part of the migration are covered in the following Knowledgebase article: - A Guide to Plesk Migrations http://www.jabwebsolutions.co.uk/knowledgebase/138 The process will be done in stages, with customers being transferred in small groups at a time, allowing us to closely monitor all sites as they're being transferred. If any customer on the server would like to be transferred on a specific day (including before the date above), please let us know and we'll accommodate your request. If we do not hear anything from customers on those servers, we will assign you a date on which the transfer will take place, and inform you of this date at least a week before the transfer will take place. This will allow you to take preparations as required before we being the process. If you have any questions regarding this change, or would like to discuss this with a member of our Support Team (including discussing the date of the transfer), please let us know. -- Jonathan Wright (Technical Director) jonathan@jabwebsolutions.co.uk -- JAB Web Solutions Limited t: 0800 043 0153 -- 029 2000 6494 (Direct) f: 0870 622 0158 a: Suite 145 61 Wellfield Road Cardiff CF24 3DG -- This email & it's attachments are confidential (if is not address to you, their disclosure and/or distribution is strictly prohibited), may contain personal views which are not those of JAB Web Solutions (unless specifically stated) and responsibility for loss or damage caused by them cannot be accepted by JAB Web Solutions. -- JAB Web Solutions Limited is registered company 5191094 in England & Wales and is also registered with HMRC for VAT (number 840666814) -- http://www.jabwebsolutions.co.uk/
