[Larry]

This is an important scheduled maintenance notice from GlowHost that affects the Uniform server in our Salt Lake City, UT location. Please read the following information carefully.

Please be advised that tonight, the Uniform server will be undergoing a brief maintenance, which will involve rebooting the server and installing software and security updates.

Maintenance Window: Maintenance will begin tonight, December 29th starting at 2:00 AM EST. Maintenance is expected to conclude at 4:00 AM EST.

Numerous precautions are in place to ensure that the maintenance happens as seamlessly as possible. While we anticipate a temporary interruption lasting the duration of the reboot, we do ask that you prepare for potential downtime of the full maintenance window in the case of unforeseen circumstances.

As with any maintenance and at all times, all GlowHost clients are encouraged to make sure that they have downloaded recent backups of account data. In fact, making sure you have recent backups at all times is part of best practices when maintaining a web site.
