As part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the best technology and the latest innovations in the hosting industry, InMotion Hosting is excited to announce the relocation of our East Coast Data Center to a new, state-of-the-art facility in Ashburn, VA., starting the week of August 26th, 2024. This move is part of our commitment to provide the best possible service to our customers.
The migration process will impact all accounts hosted at InMotion Hosting’s East Coast Data Center. We will execute server moves in waves to minimize downtime, scheduled outside of regular business hours.
Customers will be notified of their specific move dates via email, with multiple reminders sent as the date approaches. Individual notifications for each move wave will be sent to those hosted on multiple servers.
Reasons for the Move
Enhanced Team Support: By relocating to a facility with more staff on-site, we enhance our ability to provide fast and effective responses whenever needed. More staff on-site means quicker resolutions and better management of our infrastructure.
Upgraded Facilities: The new data center offers advanced facilities with the latest data center technology, which significantly enhances our hosting capabilities. This includes enhanced power systems, robust connectivity options, state-of-the-art cooling systems, and better security measures.
What to Expect
This event will affect all hosting accounts located at our East Coast data center. The physical relocation of the hardware is being meticulously planned and scheduled, and impacted customers are being notified via email with projected dates and timeframes. We aim to minimize downtime and ensure a seamless transition to the new data center.
The relocation will occur in stages over several months and will be performed outside of normal business hours to ensure minimal disruption.
Each server will be meticulously handled by a member of our data center operations team, who will oversee the server during its transfer and ensure full connectivity restoration at the new facility.
