The Freedom2Support website will be offline for a maximum of 2 hours on Saturday 18th November between 11pm and 5am because our hosts are moving their UK based servers to a new datacenter facility.

Downtime should really only be about 10-15 minutes as the new datacenter is only about a mile away from the current location.

kmount · 10-11-2006, 11:00 AM

Ouch, how annoying of them. Do you know whether the IP allocation will change as I'll need to update my hostsfile if so.

aos101 · 10-11-2006, 11:02 AM

Don't think so Chaz. They don't mention anything about it in their forum post:

http://www.unitedforums.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=9503

I would expect them to mention if they were doing that.

kmount · 10-11-2006, 11:05 AM

Yeah, they won't be changing IP's since the bandwidth provision is still coming via TelecityRedbus and just being redirected across the street from what I can see.

I'm not sure how viable that approach is, but they look to know what they are talking about, so I think it'll go fine.

Andy_ex-f2s · 10-11-2006, 12:12 PM

They shouldn't need to change IP's anyway as their IP's will be directly assigned by RIPE.

Do you know where they are moving to Adam?

Just being nosey

Andy_ex-f2s · 10-11-2006, 12:15 PM

Just checked out the forum, gonna hazard a guess at IPhouse - moved from either Sovereign or HEX (we've just got new racksoace there)
...completely pointless though, sorry. Just interested.

Mmm, I wasn't bored enough to check a whois on the IP range just incase it was being fed to someone else and they were reselling like. IP Allocation isn't my strong point though

I don't know no. I've just seen the posting on the forum - I wouldn't get an email or anything about it since the hosting account isn't in my name.

Just a quick reminder that this maintenance is happening tonight so we will be offline for a little while tonight.
