Howdy! And Network maintenance tonight

An introduction first - I'm John Masterson, a Modwest co-founder and general overseer of Support and Operations around here.

As recently announced in OnSite and our Status Page, we'll be taking our network offline briefly this evening for a router upgrade. This affects "everything": shared accounts, managed servers, and our new VPS accounts. Maintenance begins at 11PM Eastern Time and will last from 15-30 minutes.

This is a vendor-recommended upgrade from Juniper and offers numerous fixes and features, including "80,000 microsecond packet buffers", "ultimate-hop popping", and other network sorcery that ensures continued secure, reliable communication between your visitors' browsers, and our servers.
