Title: FYI: Server Move
Post by: Oldiesmann on November 14, 2016, 03:45:23 PM
Just a quick heads up to everyone. I will be moving the site over to a new server late Wednesday into Thursday (probably around 12:30am EST Thursday morning). I am staying with the same host - the move is simply to take advantage of a newer version of the operating system (due to the way things work, upgrading directly to the new version can't be done easily short of rebuilding the entire VPS, which would result in longer downtime). The downtime should be less than 24 hours, though it will depend on how long it takes your ISP to detect the DNS changes. I will post here and put the site in maintenance mode before I start the move and post here again when things are finished.

Thanks for the heads up....

Server move will begin shortly. Everything should be back up within 24 hours :)

Heads up to everyone... I'll be moving the site to a new server again tomorrow night. I am staying with the same host again but moving to a different configuration that allows me to use newer software than what I've currently got. You shouldn't notice any changes, but it might take a day or two for the DNS stuff to update. Like last time I will put the site here in maintenance mode before I do the move so nothing gets lost in the transfer.
