Announcements

Scheduled for weekend 25/26 July 2015

We are still not satisfied with the performance of MICROLITE12 and so as a priority we are bringing forward the upgrade of this server to our new UKC Super Server range. We are rolling this new model out across the entire range during the latter half of 2015.

During the weekend 25/26 July, we will be migrating all client data from the current hardware (5.77.60.166) to completely new hardware (5.77.35.132).

There will be no downtime for your web sites or email services. We will switch the new server into production only after it has passed our comprehensive data migration and validation testing.

Notice: Please refrain from making significant changes to your web site during this period. The migration of the data will take many hours. We request that you put off any changes until the upgrade is complete to avoid an inconsistent transfer of your site and data.

Thank you for your patience,

UPDATE: Sunday 10:00

The migration of all MICROLITE12 accounts to UKC02 Super Server is complete.

UKC02 has fully “absorbed” MICROLITE12. The new Plesk URL and name servers for MICROLITE12 accounts are:

Plesk Panel: https://ukc02.uk:8443 (replaces https://www.microlite12.com:8443)

Name servers:

• ns.ukc02.uk (replaces ns.microlite12.com)
• ns2.ukc02.uk (replaces ns2.microlite12.com)

Please note the following:

• The old Plesk server name MICROLITE12.COM and old name servers ns.microlite12.com and ns2.microlite12.com will continue to function as normal.
• There is no urgent need to change all the name servers on your domain names however we recommend using the new name servers for good housekeeping purposes.
• Using the old MICROLITE12 Plesk URL may give a security error in your browser which you can safely ignore.
• The server IP address has changed from 5.77.60.166 to 5.77.35.132

We hope you enjoy the enhanced performance and security of your new UKC Super Server!

Ultra High Performance Server Upgrades

During the latter half of 2015 we will be rolling out our new UKC Super Server range to all shared hosting accounts.

These servers will consist of Super High Performance hardware pairs providing 100% hardware and data storage redundancy.

Your shared hosting service will be operating at near/above VPS performance at a fraction of the cost!

Each UKC Super Server pair will consist of:

• 4 x Intel Xeon Processors
• 2 x 64GB High Speed RAM
• 12 x 1.7TB Drive storage
• 4 x RAID5 units mirrored in 2 x RAID10 configurations

All current MICROLITE servers will be upgraded to UKC Super Servers at no additional cost.

We will perform the upgrades and migrations with minimal (if any) disruption to your accounts. All upgrades will take place at weekends.

Keep an eye on Announcements and Twitter for updates!

Scheduled for weekend 27/28 June 2015

We have been unable to satisfactorily bring MICROLITE12 up to the level of reliability that we require as a minimum due to an inherent hardware fault that we have not been able to successfully isolate.

With this in mind, we have decided to replace all of the hardware completely – including the storage units.

During the weekend 27/28 June, we will be migrating all client data from the current hardware (5.77.60.36) to completely new hardware (5.77.60.166).

There will be no downtime for your web sites or email services. We will switch the new server into production only after it has passed our comprehensive data migration and validation testing.

Notice: Please refrain from making significant changes to your web site during this period. The migration of the data will take many hours. We request that you put off any changes until the upgrade is complete to avoid an inconsistent transfer of your site data.
