It was just 7 months ago that we originally moved our set-up to Redbus Meridian Gate. This move has brought faster connectivity and a much greater network reliability.

However in recent weeks Redbus has been purchased by Telecity a major European data centre provider. Since the buyout service levels at Redbus have dropped. There has also been an price increase of over 400% on contract renewals. It is my personal belief that the aim is to quickly increase profitability ready for a floatation and possible sale providing a big return on investment in a short space of time.

However the reduction in service levels and massive increase in prices means we are no longer able to stay in Meridian Gate. Because of this we are moving to a new location within London Docklands called IPHouse. The company running IPHouse has financial stability and a good reputation.

The move will be equipment only and there will be no IP or DNS changes required, nor will there be any intervention by you required. The move will take place during Friday 9th June 2006 and Saturday 10th June 2006 in various parts. It is expected downtime will be around 2 hours during this period.

We have secondary DNS and backup mail located in a separate data centre which will continue to function while the move takes place ensuring no mail is lost during this period.

I apologise for the inconvenience this move may cause but ensure you this is to allow the quality of service to continue without any inflation busting price rises.
