Data Center Migration Status Page
Last month we announced our plans of migrating to a new data center in Silicon Valley, CA. We have outgrown our current data center which has prompted us to move to a new facility that enables us to grow even larger. This move will bring more features like carriers, colocation space, and a stronger network to name a few.
The migration is taking place on December 17th from 11 AM - 8 PM CST. If you have a service with us that is located in our current Silicon Valley (San Jose) data center, expect complete downtime during these hours. Your server(s) may come back online faster than the time frame depending on the speed/time your server is de-racked and re-racked.
This page is intended to provide you with a status update on the current state of our migration during the whole process. All times are in CST.
