Topics

We are finally shutting down the following servers:

EAST.LVCS.NET
 - Running unsupported CentOS 6
 - Plesk with only a few active users due to previous attempts at migration in 2019
 - Shut down will occur by July 10, 2022 as all active users were already migrated.
 - We sent a reminder to those with content still on the server to either migrate or data will be lost
**Update 7/17/2022: We have moved all sites from this server and scheduled to shut it down**
FINAL SHUTDOWN DATE: 7/24/2022

EU.LVCS.NET
 - Running unsupported CentOS 6
 - Plesk with only a few active users due to many migrating to EU2 in a nearby data center
 - We have just started the review process for the discontinuation of this server again.
 - From the initial review, it seems 95% of the sites are not active, have no valid domains, or are disabled/expired.
**Update 7/17/2022: We are checking what additional sites are not active before moving forward**

NYC01.LVCS.NET
 - Infrastructure server that was moved from 60 William (Manhattan) to Dallas, TX a few years ago
 - No longer being used
**Updated 7/18/2022: This server has been decommissioned**
FINAL SHUTDOWN DATE: 7/19/2022

We hope to have these taken down by the end of July 2022.  (This is almost 3 years passed the date we intended to do this.)

The following servers are also being reviewed:

NYC.LVCS.NET
 - cPanel on CentOS 6 (no new updates for a while) and unsupported.
 - We originally setup EWR to replace this as well as the EAST Plesk server.
 - Our hosting/billing management site is still hosted here.  If we keep EU2 and EWR we may keep it alive and reimport the EWR sites into it.
**Update 7/17/2022: We are moving our own sites to another system and will investigate how many additional sites need moved**

EU2.LVCS.NET
 - Newer OS but not running the latest updates due to other components that need upgraded first.
 - This is not on the list to be removed at this time due to it being the only server left in the region after EU is removed from service.
**Update 7/17/2022: We have verified most of the components are running an updated version**

AWARDS1.LVCS.NET
 - NJ Infrastructure Server that hasn't been used in years

UPDATE:
This forum was updated to the latest release and moved to EWR
**Update 7/18/2022: We have adjusted the template settings and forced SSL on the forum**
**Update 7/22/2022: We have reinstalled CP1 and CP2 with a newer OS and reattached to the DNS Cluster**

If you are not on one of these servers, please contact us to migrate you as soon as possible!

EWR cPanel Server -- https://ewr.lvcs.net:2083/  **BEST CHOICE, NEWEST OS, PHP, and MySQL versions**
EU Plesk Server -- https://eu.lvcs.net:8443/

If the demand warrants, we will get another server on the west coast running at some point, but we likely have to consolidate those.  We will attempt to replace EU and EU2 with a newer more robust server in that region.

Due to increased costs, we are being forced to shut a large number of the servers down.  We are also facing the issue of oudated control panels and increased license costs on our Plesk servers.

As many of you may know, cPanel increased the licensing cost earlier this year.   The license costs are now more that we collect from you for the entire service being provided.

We will be able to maintain a single cPanel server at our NJ datacenter.  As we will be removing the WHMCS system (due to it costing more than we collected last year), we will go back to manually billing or using PayPal or 2Checkout subscriptions to handle payments.  This will keep our costs down.

The new EWR server is running the latest version of cPanel, supports multiple versions of PHP, and has 16GB of RAM and large amounts of disk space.  We will continue to use our CP1/CP2 DNS cluster for redundancy.

We had a problem with the datacenter hosting the WEST Plesk server, so that server no longer exists.  While we do have another cPanel server in the LA region (LA2.LVCS.NET), it will be EOL within the next six months, so we strongly urge anyone that wishes to continue with our service migrate over to the EWR server as soon as possible.

We will continue to honor your existing pricing plan as long as possible.  There are no plans to increase the cost, but we must consolidate our operation so we can keep things running.

Also, please disregard this message if you have already migrated to another provider.  We are sorry for the intrusion.

Please reply to this message to coordinate the transition to the EWR server or to create a new account if you were on the WEST Plesk server.

Thank you,

FreePgs Legacy

As the Plesk servers get older and older, it appears more and more sites are being compromised.

Remember to keep any scripts you use (such as WordPress, themes, and any plugins) updated.

Please also request to be migrated to our new cPanel platform as soon as possible.  Due to the constant problems we are going to have to move forward with shutting down all Plesk servers in the near future.

We have cPanel servers in the following regions:  NYC (East-US), LA2 (West-US), EU2 (Europe).  We will likely have to add more capacity as we start to migrate accounts, so be sure the site is in the most logical location for your visitors (compared to just where it was created originally).

The SSL Certificates have been renewed and installed for the following Plesk servers:  EAST, EU, WEST.

We will be shutting down the Plesk server LAX2.

If you are still using this server, please request migration to LA2 (if you need a site in the same region).

Unfortunately, we have been forced to disable signups due to an influx of fraudulent accounts being created that are then used for phishing websites, spam, etc.
This event caused a disruption of service to any client on our NYC server today for about 5 hours.  This server is also where our billing and support system along with this forum are located.

We are evaluating our next steps.  Some options we are considering:

-Shutting down the entire service and refunding the unused portion.
-Keeping signup disabled and servicing the existing customers until their end of term.
-Allowing the existing customers to stay on the system as long as they desire, but this will require us to finally get rid of all of the extra Plesk servers to bring our costs down.

Please feel free to post any suggestions on this thread.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, due to the number of users that have failed to keep their scripts up to date and/or their credentials secure, we are forced to start shutting down this service.  We can continue all cPanel operations as there are more safeguards in place, however, users will still need to keep their scripts updated.

Hardware problems and phasing out use of Plesk panel

If your account is on one of these servers, please email plesk at lvcs dot net for more information to migrate to one of our new servers.
Please ping the following servers and let us know which of these has the lowest response time.

eu2.lvcs.net
la2.lvcs.net
nyc.lvcs.net

Since Plesk has discontinued Plesk updates on version 11.5 and 12.0, we will be forced to update these to at least version 12.5 or to the new Onyx release.

We will have to move a bit faster on migrating away from Plesk if these upgrades do not appear to be successful.

We are in the process of phasing out all Plesk servers.

If you are on a Plesk server, we have been sending information about migration to you in reply to your payment.

The following Plesk servers will be decommissioned at some point in 2017:

east.lvcs.net
west.lvcs.net

The following non-Plesk servers will be decommissioned in 2017:
west1.lvcs.net

Benefits of the new cPanel servers:
-Centralized billing, support, and account management at https://hosting.lvcs.net/
-Nameserver cluster for improved reliability of name resolution for your domains
-Limits to prevent one site from slowing down the entire server
-Newer versions of PHP, MySQL, and Apache to offer your site better performance
-All solid state storage for faster disk access times.

The following Plesk servers are not planned for decommission this year but you still may see improved performance by switching to our new cPanel servers.  If enough people migrate we will shut these down as well:
eu.lvcs.net
lax2.lvcs.net

There will be no change in renewal rate or your expiration date when you switch to our new system.  in most cases, files and databases can be brought over.

We have begun the process of decommissioning the East server.  When payments are coming in, you will receive a notice that we have newer servers available.

Please ping the following servers just in case the East server is not actually the best server for your location:

eu2.lvcs.net
la2.lvcs.net
nyc.lvcs.net

These are part of our new cPanel service which will renew at the same rate.  All of these servers are part of the same DNS cluster, so you will use CP1.LVCS.NET and CP2.LVCS.NET for the nameservers when pointing to these servers.

Please email plesk at lvcs dot net for more information or to migrate.

We have made the following changes to our plans.  All plans now have double the transfer (bandwidth) per month.

Bronze - 100GB/mo
Silver - 200GB/mo
Gold - 300GB/mo
Titanium - 500GB/mo

These changes are active for any user on our cPanel platform.  Users on our grandfathered plans do not have limits.

I/O Speed has also increased by 2x.
Plan I/O Speeds:
Bronze - 4Mbps
Silver - 8Mbps
Gold - 12Mbps
Titanium - 16Mbps

Grandfathered packages updated from 2Mbps to 4Mbps internal I/O rate limit.

We are now offering signups on our new EU2 server via
https://hosting.lvcs.net/cart.php

Be sure to select "EU - Amsterdam" for the server when checking out.

Please only signup this way if you are not already an existing customer.
We will be replacing other servers soon.  All new servers will run the latest cPanel on either CentOS 7 or CloudLinux 7.
The new servers all offer Apache 2.4, PHP 5.6 and 7.0, MySQL 5.6, etc.

The WEST1 Server is having problems with the DirectAdmin license.  We are waiting for a resolution.

This server will likely be taken down in the very near future due to it running very old hardware and software.

cPanel/CloudLinux in Los Angeles

MySQL 5.6, PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, Apache 2.4

If you are currently on WEST or LAX2 and are interested in transferring to this server, please let us know.

The LAX2 Plesk server has finally been repaired.

We will be migrating people off of our Plesk LAX2 server to our LA2 cPanel server in the near future to avoid another problem.

We would like to simplify our operation by only offering service on our cPanel severs.

Currently, we offer service on the following panels
cPanel (2 servers) (CloudLinux 6)
DirectAdmin (1 server) (CentOS 5)
Plesk 11.0 (1 server) (CentOS 6)
Plesk 11.5 (2 servers) (CentOS 6)
Plesk 12.0 (1 server) (CentOS 6)

Our new offering would be just cPanel running over CloudLinux, which is what we have on the NYC server today.  This same configuration would be mirrored across all sites for consistency.

Our new offering would offer a single set of DNS servers, no matter which server your site is actually on.  This will simplify the process when starting service as well as when requesting migration to another server.  We will offer 3 or 4 DNS servers that everyone will point to.

We will offer the following locations:
NYC (via NJ or in the city itself)
LAX
AMS or LON for our EU offering
Possibly AU

The Canadian EAST server will be relocated to the NYC or NJ center for better performance for more users.  If enough users require a Canadian presence, we may continue to offer the current location, but in order to keep the prices low, we will likely migrate those users over to our NJ location.

Finally, this will be the year that we move everyone over to our WHMCS platform for billing.  We will no longer have to deal with manual payments and figuring out what server your site is located on.  We will have one WHMCS installation for all FreePgs users.

All of this is being done in an effort to keep our price at the current $10/year.

For previous updates, please see http://forum.freepgs.com/index.php?topic=2066.0

We are working on a new cPanel server for the Los Angeles region.  It should be ready later this week.

Hopefully the previous provider can bring the Plesk server up long enough for us to migrate data.
