Starting mid August 2015, the process of moving most sites to a new server will begin. The new server has reduced capacity but newer specifications so it’s considered an upgrade. Not all sites will be moved to this new server (Cobourg Cloud) therefore since it will have fewer sites, performance will actually improve. Below is a table showing the changes.
