Valued Aplus.Net Client,
As you may be aware, we have been experiencing severe packet loss in our PHX-1 data center in Phoenix, where you have one or more servers. Regrettably, the situation continues to worsen despite round-the-clock efforts by our engineers as well as those from our providers. As a result, we are taking the steps to begin moving clients into our new state-of-the-art datacenter in Phoenix, located less than 5 miles from our PHX-1 data center. We will commence moving clients at 10:00 am Central time on Saturday, December 1.
Regrettably, we were not planning on migrating to our new facility until mid-December. As such, we apologize that we were not able to provide you with more notice than this of the move, but we feel it is imperative to move enough of our clients now so as to lessen the congestion at our current facility. We will utilize best efforts to notify you in advance with a precise timeframe of when your server(s) will move, but due to the urgency of this situation, we cannot guarantee that we will reach you. As such, we ask that you immediately provide us with a current root or administrator level password so that when we do need to take your server down for its move we can do so safely. We will make every effort to gracefully power down your server when it is time to move, and minimize the downtime to the best of our ability.
To update your password, please go to https://cp.aplus.net and log in with your registration number and account password. Once in, you will see an icon “Change Password” – please click on this and follow the procedures for each of your dedicated servers. If you do not see the icon when you log-in, please select “Dedicated Servers” from the top menu and select the “Change Password” option by each of your dedicated servers.
Again, we apologize for the issues you may be experiencing. We ask you to please rest assured that our engineers are working around-the-clock to mitigate these disruptions, and that we expect to return service to our normal levels very soon.
Best Regards,
Peter Mitkov
Dedicated Server Customer Care Representative

The story I am about to tell is a sad sad story, but one that must be told. Just one short week ago I went to the happiest place on earth (or so I thought). I have been to Disney World around 20 times in my lifetime and I have never been disappointed… until now. Two of my best friends and I decided that we would dress up to go in to the park. It is something that I have seen become a bigger and bigger trend with the young children over the last few years. When we got to the Magic Kingdom we were stopped by the ticket collectors and told that we would not be allowed to wear are beautiful Princess dresses in to the park. This is very upsetting to me. I had gotten so excited about the idea of dressing up and going to Disney World that when I heard this news my heart felt like it was being ripped out and thrown on the ground and stepped on by an over sized mouse. You make think that all this is bad enough but there is more to this sad story my friends. As we are sitting and thinking of what to do with are freaking sweet dresses the stupid face ticket collectors called security on us. This was by far an over kill for five really chill college age kids. We were then told that only children 10 years and younger are allowed to dress like princesses. I do not like this rule, however I would be much more willing to abide by this rules if I could have found where they were written. I will tell you good people that I could not find where it says 10 years and up can’t dress up it was not at the ticket both, at the gate or on the official web page. I asked a good friend of mine who used to work at Disney world in the Magic Kingdom if she knew of these rules and she told me that she did not even know that these rules existed. I will be writing Disney a strongly worded letter you can best believe. Luckily for us and for Disney they happen to be throwing a Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party that night and we were allowed to put our costumes back on at 4:00 this only gave me 3 hours in my princess get up while I believe I deserved a full 10 hours.
[Mo - No it didn’t… I’m posting this for you. For everyone reading this. Amy makes a post where she only types “Whoo Hoo! It worked!” when her celebration was obviously premature because it didn’t work at all.]
