Due to popular demand, we will begin upgrades on MySQL 4.1 to bring it to version 5 starting the week of Monday, March 31st, 2008 and continuing throughout the week until all shared and fully managed dedicated servers are completed. If you have a semi-managed dedicated server or a fully managed dedicated server, you must request this upgrade, it will not be done automatically for you.

This upgrade will entail a brief period of database inaccessibility due to the fact the we need to shut the database server down to perform the upgrade. Once it has been upgraded we will restart the database server.

This will not affect any other services on your machine. Mail and web services should run fine. PHP and other scripts that rely on MySQL for functionality will be temporarily disrupted.

This should only take 15-30 minutes to complete per server if all goes well.

Please make certain that your scripts are up to date and compatible with mysql 5.0.
