[DHS Members] DHS International - Emergency Down Time (fwd)

[Ed Barnes]

Hi folks, thought some of the members of the list, in particular anyone 
who uses a dynamic dns or static dns host through dhs.org would find this 
of interest.
As many of you know I used one of their subdomains, 2y.net, for a while 
but had problems so witched to cjb.net.
This forward is a lead-in of sorts to a post I intend to write on the 
subject of dynamic dns and dynamic dns providers as well however I'll 
write that one when I get home.
Regards to all and if this post isn't appropriate for the list would 
someone be so kind as to advise so I won't forward posts such as the one 
below to the list.

Hello DHS Users

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.
