In order to upgrade the OS of this server from CentOS6 to CentOS7, the server needs to be shutdown, the OS, cPanel, CloudLinux and other software updated and reinstalled and then the accounts need to be restored to the server from backup.
The process will start at 6PM tonight and should take around 6 hours. The few remaining websites remaining on this server because they are not using our nameservers will be offline during this period. Emails will not be affected.
