Summary: As part of our continued efforts to provide the best services, control panel etc to our customers we're upgrading our billing system tonight / tomorrow morning (Oct 26th / Oct 27th) starting from around 3am.When: Starting at 3am Irish time on Wednesday 27th of October until approx 9am.
What: Our store / billing system will be offline during this process. So you won't be able to buy new domains, update contacts on domains, manage name servers etc. You will however still be able to login to cp.blacknight.com and manage your hosting, e-mail, sharepoint and VPS servers.
This is a _major_ change in our software. It's moving our backend DB from mysql to postgreysql and lots of UI changes. There'll be a new payment wizard to allow people to pay for renewal orders etc. Screen shots of this were put up on our main company blog here.
Update: 26/10 @ 22:00 due to unforeseen circumstances we need to postpone this upgrade until the 10th of November.
