H4Y is planning an exciting upgrade and migration to improved and modern datacenter space, scheduled between June 16th and 18th.  This will be service impacting but the longterm benefits will far outweigh the limited impacts.  THERE WILL BE NO CHANGES TO YOUR IP ADDRESSING OR OTHER FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF YOUR HOSTING.   Please read below for details.

Staten Island:

Highlights:  Servers will be moved to new, modern space in Manhattan.  Network capacity will be upgraded.  Additional redundancy added.  Power capacity and redundancy will be upgraded.   Upgraded space will have BETTER latency to NYC, Jito, and other popular resources.  Network speeds should be much improved.   This upgrade and migration has become necessary due to the popularity of our NY2 location and massive growth we have experienced in this location.

Timing:   Maintenance Window: Monday, June 16th 9pm EST thru 5am EST (June 17th morning).  Our goal is to limit downtime to 4 or 5 hours but the window reflects the entire project.   We suggest that clients shut servers down cleanly shortly before 9pm EST on June 16th but our staff will be taking great care to shut any servers down cleanly that remain powered up before the upgrade commences.

H4Y thanks you for your continued business.  We have a commitment to maintaining secure and modern datacenter space and feel this upgrade will benefit all of our clients in our New York locations.   We look forward to completing the scheduled maintenance as smoothly and painlessly as possible!   Please feel free to reach out to our support team if you have any questions or concerns.
