Got this from our web hosting company. Expect the website to be down this weekend. Hopefully we will notice the improvements next week, my fingers our crossed.

Dear Michael,
The time for our big Data Center move is quickly approaching and I wanted to give you another update as to how everything is progressing.
We've been very diligent in planning the move of our data center and we're on schedule with all preparations. Our primary target date for the relocation of all servers is the end of next week: Midnight, Friday March 28th. At that time, for a period of up to 48 hours, there will be service unavailability. It is not certain when your account will become unavailable or how fast it will come back up. Please allow ample time for us to make the move safely and securely.
I know I'm asking a lot of you and am truly thankful for your patience. You can expect significant service improvements with this move. It is likely that most accounts will only be down a portion of the allotted 48-hour window.
Once your site is up and online, you can rest confidently knowing that it is hosted in a brand-new high tech Data Center. You don't need to worry about the technicalities, but it's good to know anyway: you'll have a more modern, more redundant and more powerful infrastructure including generators, battery backups and air conditioning. You will be connected via multiple OC-48 fiber-optic lines. At a speed three times our old facility, your sites will be loading faster than ever.
Michael, next week I'll email you again shortly before the move - and I'll have some inspiring pictures as to what your websites can call their new home.
Until then!
