Work has begun to migrate the DirectAdmin resellers server, gt20-1, to a virtualized environment with an anonymous hostname name. Customers will be emailed the hostname separately. The new v-server will brought up first, and DirectAdmin installed on it (this work has begun). Afterwards we will begin migrating accounts one by one to the new server. This does mean new your ip address will change. But as we migrate accounts we will be giving each account a private ip address just for them to compensate.

There will be a time that some accounts can access the Installatron feature. At first it will be accounts that have moved to the new server. But after we migrate Installatron’s license to the new ip addresses, it will be the accounts still on the old server… We will be happy to install any of those scripts for you or you customers. Just simply put in a ticket with the account details, and the script you would like installed.

We are currently lowering the TTL on all the dns entries, so that any caching of incorrect ip addresses will be minimal… We’ll reset it after the migration. During the individual migrations the existing server will show a message that the account is being migrated to the new server.

We have decided to virtualize all outward facing servers for the same reasons companies all over the world are doing so: administration benefits as well as better resource management. This will help us improve service, as well as keep out prices low.
