Sorry for late notice, I just saw this email. I don't remember another email. The server will be offline for an upgrade soon.

We recently alerted you to an impending operating system upgrade of your individual VPS instance on the host machine.
The day of your upgrade has arrived! Within the next few hours we'll be upgrading your VPS and its host machine from Ubuntu Linux version 12.04.5 LTS (also known as Precise Pangolin!) to 14.04.5 LTS (aka Trusty Tahr!).
If you have more than one VPS and aren't sure which one is on this host machine, you can check the Support / Data Centers page in your DreamHost Panel, below (just look for the "VPS" section):
The upgrade will be done in two phases. First, we'll upgrade your host machine, which shouldn't take longer than an hour. Once this is complete, we'll begin sequentially upgrading the VPS guests, which may take up to 25 minutes. Keep in mind, this means there are two separate periods during which your VPS (and websites) will be unavailable.
