The move to a dedicated server went great, no downtime and no problems that I can see - everything should work exactly the same as it did before (but faster!). Please check your sites to see that they work as expected.
As a bonus, I've set all packages as unlimited now - there's no limit on bandwidth or disk space. I'm also reducing the cost of all accounts to £5 a year (plus £6 for each domain).

(Important) Going Dedicated
Over the next few days I'll be switching from the current Virtual Private Server that we've used for several years, to a brand new Dedicated Server.
Without going into details, this is a big change and the new server will be much faster. It'll still run cPanel, so for users it won't seem too different - just faster and more reliable.
Due to the extra costs, I won't be running backups for this one, so it's important to regularly back up your files and data. Assume that things could disappear at any time.
The transfer will take several days, during which time there may be downtime. I'd strongly recommend backing up your data, though I'm hoping to move everything in one piece.
