The RAM upgrade has arrived for the server, it will be necessary to shut down all the sites, IRC, email, streaming, etc. to add the new memory and then boot back up and test. We are upgrading from 2 GB to 8 GB (4x). If all goes well, down time will only be about 5-15 minutes. After a few days of load testing and stability verification, if all goes well, we will move the serve back to the colocation facility so that the bandwidth will be much faster.
Thank you for your patience and support.
