Hello Australian hosters,

We received notification that our provider is moving our instances to a different Hypervisor on 5th February, to improve the service. That will mean some downtime.

This should be taking place at some point between 13:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC on 5th February, so that means late in the night in Australia, 5th to 6th February. So I hope that means minimal disruption.

I'd prefer our instance not to be shut down while your hosts are running, so I plan to close them by 13:00 UTC and stop the hosting system on the server. I'll check in occasionally and when I see the server has been restarted, I'll restart the hosting system and restart any hosts that I closed down. That it hopefully before 20:00 UTC otherwise I'll be looking in the morning on 6th February.

If that is OK with you, you can just leave the hosts running and they will be offline for some time as described above. If you prefer to avoid the downtime then you can move your host temporarily (to Hong Kong or USA, I guess).

I closed the hosts down at 13:00 UTC but they still haven't made the change by 21:00 UTC.

Just now the server seems to have gone offline so it looks like they are making the change, later than expected.

Anyway, it's too late for me to work on this but I will do the updates and restart in the morning if the server is up and running as expected.

Hi, the server has been restarted and set up for the new IP, and appears to be working correctly now.
