We will be performing a routine update of Plesk and Windows on Birdsville in order to improve not only the security, reliability and the performance of the server, but also to add functionalities and features.
New service features include:
- Advisor: It will allow us to be more proactive about security and performance of the websites hosted on the server
- SSL Everywhere: the experience of working with SSL/TLS certificates have been significantly improved, making sure that it takes minimal effort to keep things secured
- Nginx Caching: Nginx Caching will reduce the website response time and server load
- WordPress Toolkit: new feature were added to the WordPress toolkit
o Better looking interface
o Smart update
o One click caching button
- SEO Toolkit: Design and execute your SEO strategy, monitor your keywords rankings, and benchmark yourself against your competitors without leaving the Plesk interface
Description of work:
Windows and Plesk update
Affected Services:
Resellers and shared Web hosting
Maintenance Window:
Start Date: FRIDAY 14TH June, 2019 - 11:00 PM
End Date: SATURDAY 15TH June, 2019 - 4:00 AM
Impact:
During the update we will need to reboot the server several times to apply Windows updates. We estimate that the reboots will take 10-15 min and might occur 2-3 times in the first 60-90 min of the maintenance window.
Once the Windows updates are completed, we will run the Plesk update and we estimate that websites will be unavailable for 25 to 30 min at the end of the process when services need to be restarted.
Expected outage period:
Windows updates: 10-15 minute 2-3 times
Plesk update: 25-30 minutes
