We’re Movin on up.

Our customers have told us we are the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to Managed WordPress Hosting and we are about to get even better. We are happy to report we have been growing rapidly this Q1 and with growth has come a few growing pains. We had planned a datacenter move for mid-summer but are accelerating those plans and found the perfect partner to help.

Our good friends at Firehost.com have built their business by providing unparalleled server security and reliability to some of the web’s biggest websites. Our customers have come to expect the best from us so we found the best datacenter provider to manage our server iron.

What does this mean for Page.ly customers?

A bucket full of awesome!

  • The BEST security available.
  • Much Faster website performance and response times (vs. our current environment)
  • Mucho Grande Better up-time (vs. our current environment)

We do not expect any significant downtime while we make the move, yet please be patient as there may be intermittent outages on a per site basis as we migrate it and the new DNS resolves. Please check your email midweek for more information. And of course a big thank you is in order to our current customers for their trust they have shown in choosing page.ly, and for their patience as we have had a few hiccups in the last week.

The move is tentatively planned to begin Friday April 2nd and finish by the evening of April 3rd.
