During this week and next we will be completing our migration of the
system back-end database system to MariaDB. This refers to the
infrastructure that runs the controlpanel and hosting systems, and does
not affect customer’s hosted databases. MariaDB offers better real-time
support and security, and importantly flexibility and a future focus for
next generation services.
No impact is expected as we have been running MariaDB in parallel for
some time in order to check data integrity. However we want to inform
our customers of the changeover dates and times which are as follows:
Tuesday 11th Feb, 6AM:
All DNS and redirects changed so that they read from the new cluster.
Tuesday 18th Feb, 6AM:
Control Panel changed so that it reads from the new cluster.
