webmail.dynamic.net Server Upgrade Completed

Upgrade Completed at 06:30PM PDT.

On Thursday evening, starting at 5:30PM PDT, we are upgrading the email server hardware that runs webmail.dynamic.net.  Mail services will be down for approximately two hours while your data is synchronized to the new system.

There will be no loss of your existing email and incoming mail will be queued for delivery once the migration is complete. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

PLANNED POWER OUTAGE AT OUR ALISO VIEJO DATA CENTER

SC Edison has scheduled an electrical outage, Friday August 16th at 22:00 thru Saturday Aug. 17th at 06:00 PDT. Because our servers are protected by UPS and standby power generation, the  disruption is not expected to affect the servers and services hosted in our Aliso Viejo Data Center.

While most of our customers and services operate from our new data center in Irvine, e-mail services (smtp, email and webmail), legacy websites and ProStores are still delivered from our Aliso Viejo facility.

ProStores maintenance is Complete!

We have completed the ProStores maintenance processes. Thank you for your patience during this difficult upgrade.

01:22 Status Update:  ProStores is up and running on the new server. We are provisioning the web server, assigning new IP’s and copying SSL’s

12:16 Status Update: All data and stores have been copied to new hardware. Our partners are completing the database validations and we will shortly begin bringing up stores one at a time.

08:30 Status Update. Due to an unforeseen hardware problem with the brand new server we were migrating to, the database import took all night to complete. We are now copying all of the sites to a brand new server and expect to be running by noon.

20:30 Status Update. We are still in the process of importing the data to our new hardware. It has taken longer than expected. We will let the import process continue over night. We are aiming to go live tomorrow by 12:00 PM PST. We have decided to keep stores closed for now to maintain data integrity. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

17:00 Status Update. The DB import is taking exceptionally long to decompress and import. Once done, we will be bringing up the stores. We aren’t resting until we are live!

Internet Services Maintenance: March 24, 2013 @ 07:00 PDT

In order to provide our customers with the best possible network redundancy, Latisys will perform power maintenance at our Irvine Data Center on Sunday, March 24, 2012 between the hours of 07:00 – 12:00 PDT.

During this maintenance window, all equipment in our cabinets must be shutdown and services will be disrupted to your dedicated server(s), co-located servers and websites located in our Irvine, CA data center. It will take Dynamic an hour to shutdown all of our equipment. Latisys will then switch over our primary and redundant power to newly installed circuits for each of our cabinets, after which our equipment and servers will be restarted.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We will post updates on this maintenance window, as well as its completion when services are up and running. You may check on the status of our network services, at any time, by viewing our status posts at:
