To those on host53:

Due to the recent instability on host53, Linode.com is providing an "upgrade" to a faster host server that is unaffected by the problems. To migrate off host53, please follow these instructions:

1) Please log into the LPM website ( http://members.linode.com/ )
2) Shutdown your Linode
3) Press the Migrate button located off the Overview page
4) Submit a boot job into the queue.

Since these are larger Linodes, the transfer of your disk images will take between 30-60 minutes. You may want to resize disk images smaller before performing the migration to reduce the total copy time. You can then resize them back after you migrate.

This migration only affects which host you access Lish. Your IP address(es), configuration profiles, disk images, etc. all move to the new host automatically.

You may perform the migration at your leisure. Linodes that have not been migrated by Saturday, October 14th will be migrated automatically some time that evening.

Thank you for your business,
Linode.com
