Hi All ,

Its not a prank call.

IX Webhosting which one of the low cost hosting in the market is moving to its new datacenter in Columbus, Ohio.

Here is the message from its CEO..

"

Our Big Data Center Move Is A Go! As I've been informing you the past few weeks, we will be moving all of our servers to a brand new state-of-the-art facility in Columbus, OH.

If you have signed up with us after mid-November of last year, you will not be affected by this move. All your accounts are already at our new data center in Ohio. Please take a look at my previous announcements here:

Notice 1: Announcing The New Ecommerce Data Center
Notice 2: Update About Our Relocation

The good news is, the first batch of machines have already been relocated and brought online. We've made backups of all our servers and they've been moved to our new data center ahead of time as an extra precaution.

All our preparations are being finalized and we're on schedule to begin the move at Midnight on Friday, March 28th 2008 (ie. early Saturday morning). For a period of 24-48 hours, services will be down.

During the move, our Customer Service will be unavailable via telephone. Most of our staff will be busy with the move. However, you can still reach us via Live Chat for urgent cases, or if your website is already hosted in Ohio and you require assistance.

I can't thank you enough for your patience with our move. So far, the feedback I've received from you has been tremendous and very supportive. I truly appreciate it.

While we've allotted a 48-hour window for this move, we're striving to have all services back online by 9am EST on Sunday morning, or earlier. As soon as everything has been restored, I'll email you again with an update. If you should still be experiencing issues after this time, please don't hesitate to contact us.

XXX, I look forward to serving you from one of the best modern-day privately owned data centers in the industry.

Kind Regards,
Fathi Said, CEO
