Attn DHS users

[Wellcky]

Just got this in my email:

Over recent days DHS International has been made aware the current hosting service we utilise will be cutting connections at the end of the month. DHS International has been working with our current and future ISP to minimise disruptions to users but due to circumstances beyond our control it will be impossible for us to maintain all normal services.

In a few hours, the DHS International servers will be disconnected from the Internet to allow for shipping to a new hosting location.

This means the following:

Static IP hostnames and domain name services will remain in place Dynamic IP hostnames and domain name services will remain in place But no changes will be possible to any user records for a period of 7-10 days whilst the servers are shipped and re-installed at the new location.

AtHome services will be unavailable for the shipping/install period and will be disfunctional for the full 7-10 days.

We apologise for the inconvenience. We have striven to maintain all services but unfortunately it turns out to be impossible in this instance.

You will be informed of all developments regarding this and other changes that may be forced on us in a further email after all plans are finalised.

Yeah, I got that in the mail this morning and freaked! :Q

Luckily my ISP (Videotron) is quite considerate, and is willing to keep my IP static for the next 2 weeks.

siren.2y.net is now associated with 24.201.115.124, and will stay that way until DHS gets back up and running. So the SetiQueue is thankfully safe. I'm tempted to look into getting a commercial domain anyway, but they have their fair share of problems and this is the first real interuption in service I've seen from DHS in over 2 years, so it's a hard sell.
