WinVPS5 will be rebooted at 11PM EDT during this time we will install one minor update, and have to unlock a VPS that has frozen and causing 25% cpu usage and is down for the client. The lock was caused by an out of memory state that was not properly rebooted by closing some applications before issuing the reboot. This is just like your home windows may sometimes hang for a long time if it runs out of RAM and you issue a reboot, however in this case the only fix is to reboot the whole of the server.

VPSes will be down between 15-20 minutes during this reboot.

WinVPS5 contains some users that went directly to WinVPS5, and some from WinVPS1.

There is a slight chance the VPS will finalize its restart before this time, but it is small, if this happens an update will be posted here cancelling the restart of WinVPS5.
 
All VPSes have intial processes going, some are still launching startup services and will be complete in the next 5-10 minutes.
