BudURL.com server is upgrading its network and
hardware to improve the speed and overall quality of the
BudURL software. This does not affect BudURL.Pro
users. If you share links using the budurl.com domain,
these uprades will have an impact to you.
The upgrades will take place over two separate
days. One for the network upgrade and
one for the hardware upgrade. The network
upgrade will be done first and is being done to speed up the
hardware upgrade. The network upgrade will take approximately
2 hours to complete. We do not have a
timeframe on the hardware upgrade but it is safe to say that it
may take as long as 8 hours. We will provide
details as soon as we have confirmation from our data center
about the time to complete the hardware migration.
The network upgrade is set for:
CST:
Thu Feb 02 2012 01:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST) to Thu Feb 02 2012
03:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST)
Or GMT:
Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:00:00 GMT to Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:00:00 GMT
The hardware upgrade is tentatively scheduled for and the
date and time may change:
CST:
Tue Feb 28 2012 07:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST) to Wed Feb 29 2012
00:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST)
Or GMT:
Tue, 28 Feb 2012 13:00:00 GMT to Wed, 29 Feb 2012 06:00:00 GMT
This is the answer to the question:
What does this mean to you?
During both upgrades and longer for some users there will be some
side effects:
- Your links will still work and redirect
users to the desired destination
- Your clicks and their data will not be
recorded
- You will not be able to login or create new
links although you can use the API’s expand
function
- No new registrations will be allowed
We advise all customers to not plan any campaigns or perform any
significant business-related activity during this time that
requires the use of tracking on BudURL.com. If you require
tracking services during this window of time, we encourage you to
sign up for a separate account under our budurl.pro service
at http://budurl.pro .
The BudURL.Pro servers are not impacted by this move.
We apologize for the inconvenience but is a necessary step for
the overall improvement and health of the BudURL service. If you
have any concerns, please email support@budurl.com.
Sincerely,
BudURL.com team
