Hey guys. I was wondering about upgrading my server from 10.04.4 LTS to the latest supported version which I believe is 14.04?? Can this be done in place or do I have to build another server image from scratch? Should I go to 12 and then to 14??

Howdy -- yeah, as Ubuntu 10.04 is no longer receiving updates, it's an excellent idea to update to a newer one.
As far as how to do so -- there are two ways we'd recommend.
One, is to setup a second server running your preferred distro/version, install Virtualmin onto it, then backup all your domains and restore them on the new server.
Instructions for doing that are here:
https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/system/migrate
The other option is to perform an in-place upgrade.
When doing that, you can only go one step at a time... meaning you'd first need to upgrade to 12.04, and then 14.04. Also, we're preparing 16.04 support for this April, that's an option too.
Upgrading is a big jump, and there are a lot of changes, so we're recommend preparing for some downtime if you go that route. However, it does work, and that's a popular way to move to a newer Ubuntu version.
There are instructions for doing that here:
https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/system/os/ubuntu-lucid-to-precise
https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/system/os/ubuntu-precise-to-trusty
Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!

I think I'll do the in-place option to 12, then 14, then 16 when it is supported and available. Is there somewhere that you send notices when you are supporting new OS releases?

That did not go so well. =)

It sounds like you may be seeing an issue with the Ubuntu mirrors, a networking problem, or an issue with a proxy/firewall if you have one there.
You may just want to try again later, after verifying that there isn't a proxy or firewall that's interfering with traffic.
However, as mentioned in the instructions, you may really want to try it out on a test server first, with a setup similar to the one on your main server.
Then you could test that the upgrade process works for your server, with your particular domains.
