QG Software & 5pm Blog

We recently got multiple requests from universities that use 5pm and want to pay on a yearly, not monthly basis. It’s linked to the University & Federal Fiscal Year-End.

We decided to make an exception for such clients and process yearly payments. Note, that the Educational Institutions also take advantage of a 50% discount.

In order to take advantage of this deal, just contact us directly. We accept credit card payments, wire transfers and checks.

We are glad to welcome all our users on our new 5pm server. The transaction went according to the schedule.

Existing users will notice a significant improvement in speed, due to a more powerful server.

We also updated our backup procedures - the backups are created nightly between 2AM and 4AM EST to three different locations, two of them in different data centers, with different hosting providers. We are also planning to add an additional backup storage in Europe.

We are glad to announce that this weekend we are upgrading to a bigger, faster, better server. The transaction will happen on 5:00 PM EST on Friday, March 7. All the services will continue working as before, while DNS changes will be propagated during the next 48 hours. We will be tracking the servers closely during the weekend to make sure everything goes smoothly.

At the end of the weekend, after the DNS change will be finished, we will do the final synchronization of the databases at 2:00 AM on Monday, March 10. The service will be stopped for 30 minutes at that time in order to do the synchronization.

Feel free to email us if you have any questions.
