Hello,

There will be a reboot of WinVPS Hardware nodes on WinVPS1-8 beginning at 11PM EDT Friday Sept 28th, until 3am Saturday the 29th. Each VPS should expect up to 25 minutes outage during this reboot and upgrade process. Windows Patches and Virtuozzo updates will be run on all servers starting with WinVPS1 at 11PM and continuing to WinVPS8 during the first maintenance window.

On Saturday night, there will be a reboot of WinVPS Hardware nodes on WinVPS9-17 beginning at 11PM EDT Saturday Sept 29th, until 3am Sunday the 30th. Each VPS should expect up to 25 minutes outage during this reboot and upgrade process. Windows Patches and Virtuozzo updates will be run on all servers starting with WinVPS9 at 11PM and continuing to WinVPS17 to close the final maintenance window.

Due to the number of WinVPS hardware nodes we are splitting the maintenance over two days in order to focus on the client VPSes at every reboot.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this maintenance period. Updates will be provided throughout the process on our Network Outages and Updates forum.
