GreeNet Web Server Downtime Tuesday 28th June 7pm-9pm
-----------------------------------------------------

To all GreenNet members

We are moving our main web server to a new location on Tuesday 28th June, which 
means that it will be unavailable from 7pm to 9pm (at the latest, it will 
probably be ready earlier).  The transfer is expected to take about an hour and 
then services should be up and running as normal.

This will affect all sites hosted on this server (sites hosted on our NT server 
or our alternative linux server will be unaffected) and will also affect our 
webmail service.  Mail will still be accessible using your normal email client 
as the mail server itself will be unaffected.

The IP address of the server will also change, as with the mail server changes 
this will not matter for most users.  A minority of users may have registered 
domains elsewhere which point to the old ip address, in which case they will 
need to change them by the 9th July.  Ideally they should point to the server 
name instead as this will make such changes easier in the future.

Server name: seven.gn.apc.org
New IP Address: 217.72.179.8

The move is due to our changing hosting providers as part of the ongoing 
technical improvements we have planned for our services.  We do apologise for 
any inconvenience this downtime may cause.

This message has been sent to our email user list and our web clients list, so 
apologies if some of you have received it twice.

Regards

GreenNet Support
