As always we ensure our servers are kept clean, up to date and one step ahead of the game. This weekend is that time of the month where we get the duster out and give our equipment an MOT and ensure all the back doors are double locked shut.

From Friday 27th September at 10PM BST, we will be carrying out maintenance work over the weekend which may involve a reboot of all servers across the board to make sure everything is tidy, and drives are functioning as well as possible. 

We like to keep you informed, but not say too much on what we're doing. Please find our schedule below -
