We will be upgrading all our shell servers to FreeBSD 9.0 in the next few days, we cannot give exact time but we will start working on upgradation from today itself, so you might notice a few reboots in the next few days, we expect all servers to be upgraded within next 7-10 days. We have to upgrade our servers to make sure all servers are secure and upto date to support the newest software available.

We don’t expect downtime of more then few minutes per server as we just need to reboot the server once to complete the upgrade.

All your data should stay intact during the upgrade, but still just to be safe we would suggest that you please take backups of your data as sometimes things do go wrong during upgrades.

All your bots should run fine after the upgrade, but sometimes some libraries etc.. are changed so your bot or bnc or ircd might give some library errors, if you get any such error after the upgrade then please recompile your bot/bnc/ircd to fix it, if you need any assistance with it after the upgrade, please feel free to open a support ticket with us.

As and when we will upgrade/reboot servers we will post about it on http://twitter.com/sh3lls so please follow us on twitter to stay updated

Thanks for your continuous business

Sh3lls Limited

P.S: We have already emailed about it to all the clients so please do check your email
