So #WebFaction notifies me about a server migration. “[...] to a new server Web535, in our new datacenter with better hardware, on Thursday.” The only action to take is to update A records in DNS settings.

Nowhere in any of this message do they inform that the server is actually going to now be a CentOS7 (was CentOS5) and is 64bit.

Nice way to have your entire morning ruined by an urgent unplanned db & system migration.

@colm That is seriously bad. I would question their competence.
