We received this today from our internet provider:

This email is to inform you of an urgent maintenance window affecting your Aplus.Net dedicated server.

Between 10pm and 6am Eastern Time (9pm through 5am Central Time; 8pm through 4am Mountain Time; 7pm through 3am Pacific Time), your server will experience intermittent downtimes as we transition hardware to our new, primary, state-of-the-art data center.

Though this maintenance window is a full 8-hour period, your server will certainly not be down that whole time and will only experience intermittent downtimes, although one will be for approximately 90 minutes.
However, it's best to expect limited access to your server during this period.

Please note: It's extremely important that you update your root or administrator password by logging in to your account before your scheduled maintenance window.
If you fail to do so, we may be unable to safely shut down your system, resulting in possible loss of data.
During your maintenance window, you'll still be able to check the status of your server on your control panel at cp.aplus.net.

Once your server has been fully relocated you can experience a higher level of service due to a better facility and more diversified group of bandwidth providers.

We hope that you'll accept our apologies for this brief period of service outage, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with the best in dedicated hosting services in our new facility for many years to come.
As always, thanks for being an Aplus.Net customer.

Note: This email is in reference to server: <DS7629>

Best Regards,
Ryan Elledge
Chief Operating Officer
APlus.Net Internet Services

Thanks, Joe -
Does this mean you will suspend your search for a new server?

Guess you did everything right as I don't notice any loss of data.
