Planned Maintenance - Web Hosting
Malcolm S. Muir
We will be carrying out planned maintenance on our Web Hosting
Platforms as follows:
Friday April 25th at approximately 06:30 BST
At this time we will be upgrading the MySQL database service.
This will affect the following products:
Demon Web Hosting Standard
Demon Web Hosting Advanced
Demon Web Hosting Professional
Demon Web Hosting Entry (cost option only)
Dial-up and Homepages are however unaffected.
For a brief period during this work, MySQL databases will not
function. However, web pages and PHP scripts that do not
make calls on MySQL will continue to be served normally.
The reason for this maintenance work is to allow us to improve
stability of the MySQL database service. We will upgrade MySQL 4
database service from 4.0.17 to 4.0.30, the latest version on
that code branch.
Customers should note that scripts written specifically to account
for bugs in the current MySQL version 4.0.17 may not operate as
required following the upgrade, although this is unlikely.
We recommend that customers using MySQL on these products back up
their hosted database by following the instructions shown at:
<http://www.demon.net/helpdesk/technicallibrary/webhosting/backupmysql>
before the above date.
Web space bundled with Broadband, Demon Virtual Server and Showroom
hosting services will not be affected by this maintenance.
We apologise for any inconvenience this essential work may cause.
