[Clients] Happy New Year (and a new data center to you!)

[Steve Hanson]

I'm sending an email out to our clients both to wish you a happy holiday
season (okay, lots of it is over, but --) and to let you have some good
news.

We've just signed up to have a new data center in Eau Claire Wisconsin. 
We will be moving our network operations from Michigan to a very nice
new data center that is much closer to our staff and which has a much
more flexible network architecture.  In the process we're also going to
be upgrading our hardware, and will be making some infrastructure
changes.  Don't worry, the vast majority of this will be transparent to
you. 

Some of what we are planning ---

Higher performance servers  for our hosting clients.

Larger storage capacity for our backup clients.

A new high-performance server for the people who are on managed Drupal
hosting plans, and a dedicated database server to speed up those complex
Drupal queries.

An expansion of our virtual servers -- you will soon be able to purchase
a VPS unmanaged server on-line, and have your own virtual server which
you can manage yourself, and have root access.

Currently our plans are to start the installation of the new equipment
on approximately January 11, and to start transitioning customers to the
new data center on or about Jan. 18.  We hope to be finished with moving
everyone by the end of January, but this may stretch out into February. 
If you have any questions or concerns, please send them in to the

And again - Happy New Year.
