We are working on a new server to replace the aging "ring.vpop.net" server.  If your website is hosted by that server, be on the lookout for a nice upgrade.  We'll post again as we get close to deployment so you can be on the lookout for the few needed moments of downtime associated with the move.  We are a little extra paranoid when adding new servers so we stress test them over and over again before actual deployment.  Look for the change to come towards the end of March, 2004.

UPDATE: The new server is in place and working quite well.  We had a couple of brief hiccups which affected a couple of customers and to those folks, our sincere apologies.  Each time we upgrade the operating system or a complete server we update the scripting language engines and associated libraries and a couple of these libraries did not get recompiled.  They have been noted for future upgrades so they are not missed again.  In the end, we are quite pleased with the performance and added redundancy this new server is providing.  If you happen to notice anything funny, please do not hesitate to contact us: admin@vpop.net  OR 888-811-8767
