Here's a letter I got to better improve your SH experience.
Dear Robert,
We're pleased to inform you that the server hosting your stunthanger.com website will be undergoing a major software upgrade, from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6, within the next 48 hours.
This upgrade includes newer software packages (including Python, Perl and gcc), as well as all the security and performance benefits that come along with CentOS 6. In addition to this, the server will be redeployed with a different file system type simultaneously, further increasing performance.
Although a bulk of the upgrades to your server are being done with it online and functional, in order to safely finalize these changes our Administrators will need to temporarily take your server offline in the early morning hours. Barring any extenuating circumstances this outage should only last about 2 hours.
Please note that while we do not anticipate your software having problems post-update, it may be required to re-compile any module(s) you are using to take advantage of the newer included libraries. We suggest reviewing your site afterward to verify that it is functioning as it should.
We are stand alone unlimited bandwidth and disk space. I did all this after watching the problems with other websites and I did anticipate us becoming big. I also know you guys hate change but I will have to update the forum so we can let new members join. I will try to keep the format close to the same but things may look different.
