Plesk 9.5 Upgrade, Monday July 17th 12am (US EST)

[NexDog]

We will be upgrading Plesk on Baryon to 9.5 on Monday July 17th 12am which is basically Sunday night.

This is a significant change as Plesk 9.5 looks somewhat different to Plesk 8. Version 9 has been out for over a year and we have it on all new Linux servers and it's now time to deploy across all Windows servers.

Plesk 9 allows Overselling so no 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. 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.

We estimate about 3 hours for this upgrade. This is the first Plesk 9 upgrade on a live Windows server so we are allowing more time than normal. The upgrade has been tested on our test server and things went very well so I'm not forseeing any major issues.

Any resellers that want the new Reseller level please email sales@hostnexus.com after the upgrade and I'll make the changes.

This went extremely well. The actual upgrade was done in under an hour and then we did some clean-up of some errors for another few hours. But overall, very smooth and minimal interruption. We hope they all go this well!

As always please do check everything and let us know right away if you have any issues so we can check and fix.
