Homepages migration

We will be migrating the customer Homepages service to new servers between:

Tuesday 12th June and Thursday 14th June 2007

Customers should note the following:

From Tuesday 12th June the homepages FTP service (homepages.demon.co.uk) will be suspended until the migration is complete. This means that customers will be unable to update the content of their homepages websites during this period.

We recommend that Homepages customers do not change their passwords during the migration period. If you do change the password during this period it might not be migrated, in which case after migration your previous password will work and will need to be changed again using the control panel at:

https://www.admin.dwh.demon.net

Customers should note that we do not anticipate any interruption in the availability of their web page content during the work.

On completion, the following are amongst the benefits available to Homepages customers:

Friendlier disk space quota management.

Easier to self-manage Bandwidth quota.

Streaming;
SDU and Premier Connect Plus dial up accounts get MP3 and QuickTime streaming (currently as a beta test) in addition to RealVideo and RealAudio streams.

Demon HomeOffice Broadband users are now entitled to stream from their websites.

Separated passwords allow you to employ 3rd party web designers securely.

Ability to buy upgrades to professional packages with domain name, own CGI scripts, bigger quotas, MySQL database and more.

Further details are available at:

We must also advise customers that the Demon Games Domain will be closing on Monday July 16th.
