Apr 2

The linux1 shared hosting server will have it’s version of DirectAdmin upgraded this weekend during Saturday night starting around 9pm Central time.  The version will be going from 1.32.1 to 1.33.3 — so we’re not expecting any major issues during the upgrade. This is in preparation for migrating the linux1 sites from the current box to GT20-1 in the next two weeks. The GT20-1 server is a MAJOR upgrade (Dual Xeon processors, 8GB of RAM, and 4x 750GB Raid Edition drives in RAID10) and will benefit all of our shared reseller clients.

8:55pm:  The upgrade will begin shortly. I’m running a backup now. As soon as it ends, I’ll begin the upgrade.

9:20pm: Update completed – rebooting server

9:40pm: Everything checks out… we’re done!
