Positron Plesk 9.5 Upgrade - Saturday 27th November 1am EST

[NexDog]

We will be upgrading Plesk on Positron to 9.5 on Saturday 27th November 1am EST which is basically Friday 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, a few Windows 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 4-5 hours for this upgrade. The upgrade sometimes goes smoothly and completes within a few hours but sometimes it gets stuck and requires extra work. I'll post updates on the blog and forum during the upgrade to keep you all appraised.

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