Plesk 9.2 Upgrade, Wednesday August 12th 4am (US EST)

This is a significant change as Plesk 9.2 looks somewhat different to Plesk 8. Version 9 has been out for over 6 months and we have it on other servers and it's now time to deploy across all servers. Plesk 9 gives us the opportunity to switch mail servers from Qmail to Postfix which is less resource intensive and gives us better anti-virus tools at server level. Plesk 9 allows Overselling so longer will clients have to juggle their disk space and bandwidth allocations and it also comes with the new Reseller level where you can create Client Accounts and assign multiple domains to each. Until now resellers have been limited to assigning client access per domain only. Plesk 9 also allows you to choose SquirrelMail or Horde webmail in Plesk. I believe the default skin will be a Vista type skin but you can change this to a more familiar XP skin (or whatever type skin you've been using).

It's a big upgrade so there might be a few issues afterwards. I urge everyone to check everything after the upgrade to make sure things are in the right place. As always please do submit support requests if you find issues. Please allow 40 minutes for this maintenance window.

We had a few issues with Leo's 9.2 upgrade today so we decided not to go ahead with teh upgrade on Aries. We just need to iron out a few wrinkles. We'll do the Aries upgrade tomorrow at 4am so this is just delayed by 24 hours.
