Straight from an e-mail that I received from our domain host. I'm not too sure on exact details, since we only use them for domains, but so everyone knows we're expected to have downtime.
Dear Thomas *,
We are pleased to inform you that we will be installing new
hardware on the core switches that are used by the webserver
that hosts your account. In order for these upgrades to
be performed the server will be disconnected from the Internet
for approximately one hour.
Due to the magnitude of the upgrades which will occur across
all core switches, altering the underlying technology that our
data center infrastructure is built upon, our normal redundant
mechanisms can not be used. The redundant systems have to be
concurrently upgraded along with the live systems.
Afterwards, you will benefit from increased router capacity
across our whole network and infrastructure.
The upgrade can take up to an hour and will occur on October 23,
2008, sometime between 12 am and 6 am Central Time.
*
During this upgrade, your website will not be online for
approximately one hour. Writing and editing of files in your web
space will not be possible.
Please be sure to make any changes to your web space before
October 23, 2008. Depending on how frequently your site is updated,
you may find it useful to post a notice on your website telling
visitors or to inform web-based application users that your
site or service will not be available during this time.
If you have any questions or concerns before or after this
process, please don't hesitate to contact us.
