As many of you will know, we have been working hard here at Websoftnet for the last few months on a programme to upgrade all our webservers. We took the decision to do this because some of the early webservers were now old. Although they had all been excellent servers and not given us any significant problems, we decided that at that age we could start seeing problems.

We also took the opportunity to upgrade many of the storage servers we use, these actually hold the web site data and the webservers connect to them. In all we moved over 40 Terabytes of data to new servers and all customer websites are now on servers that are less than six months old.

Although this process was expensive we do believe that keeping hardware up to date is an important part of being a web host and is something that you would want us to do.
