 If you would like to upgrade your site, here are directions for how to do that. If you are not comfortable doing this, and you are able to hire a developer to help, please [/newticket?type=Project/Need+to+hire+someone post a ticket of the type "Project/Need to hire someone"] and we will try to match you with a techie.
 
-''Please note:'' If you primary host is `viewsic.mayfirst.org`, please add a support ticket. Upgrading Drupal on viewsic.mayfirst.org is a different process than upgrading on our other servers. In addition, these directions are for upgrading from 4.7 to 5, however, they also apply if you are upgrading from 4.6. Please remember - you must upgrade incrementally. In other words, you can't go directly from 4.6 to 5. You must first upgrade from 4.6 to 4.7, and then upgrade from 4.7 to 5.

  * Assemble your team. To upgrade Drupal, you will need someone who is comfortable using the command line and using secure shell (ssh). If that is not you, you may want to recruit some helpers.
