Today we have just added a new MySQL server to our shared hosting product to help improve overall MySQL performance. If you are a current shared hosting customer and are experiencing slowness on MySQL, please open a ticket with our support department and they will be able to schedule a time to move your databases over. This database migration would require the database to be taken down for a period of time to assure the data is migrated properly.

Note: If you are using the new MySQL server make sure to specify in any scripts you may be using to access mysql2.steadfast.net, not localhost or mysql.steadfast.net
