Server Maintenance Scheduled

Our ISP has scheduled a maintenance window for Saturday, February 17th, from 12:00 AM EST (Midnight) through 06:00 AM that same day.

They assure us that their work will be "...will be executed in a manner that takes advantage of our network's redundancy and resiliency in order to ensure minimal impact on your services..."

Note that eValid Commercial License users should experience no actual interruptions of service; we are informed by our ISP that the "down time" (if any at all) will be measured in seconds -- however long it takes the server to reboot.

Regular users of the company websites should experience no problems other than slight delays in serving pages.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
