Thread: Heads up: Moving server in next one to two weeks, might be downtime

  1. #1

    Default Heads up: Moving server in next one to two weeks, might be downtime

    The company where I lease the server from has been bought and based on the reports I'm hearing, the new company is having major support issues. People are having trouble tickets taking 12+ hours to get responses, etc. This server has not been migrated to the new company, but it will likely happen soon. So, I'm going to move BF to a different company that has a very good reputation for fast response on support issues.

    I'll either do it this weekend or next week. I'll be tied up with a business event/out of town most of next week, so if I get confirmation that this server isn't scheduled to be moved to the new company in the next week or two, then I will probably wait until after next week and likely move it the weekend of the 24th.

    Unlike recent moves that have just been upgrading servers, this will be moving to a new company, with new server IPs, etc. So, there might be some downtime, but hopefully not more than a few hours at most.

    The other thing I noticed last night was that there was something wrong with the ads which was making the site load slow and keep popping you to the bottom of the page. I went ahead and disabled virtually all the ads until I have time to investigate. I think they were all being served by the USA Today Sports Media Group so I am surprised by that behavior. Ideally, I will be able to get some back up at some point, as they partially offset the monthly cost, but until I have time to investigate, I've just pulled them down so they aren't screwing with the site performance. If that's been going on for a while, sorry, but haven't been on in a bit and didn't know.

    Going to switch in an hour or so. It will likely be down for an hour or so, once it starts. More accurately, I will turn off the forum on the old server (so I think you will be able to view but not post), so you will know you are on the new server when you are able to post again (plus I'll post in this thread).

    It "should" be fairly non disruptive.

    Ok, I've tested (ish) the forum on the new server. I'm going to start the live transfer now. In order to minimize downtime, I can't turn the forum off on the old server, so any posts on the old server after this time might not show up on the new server.

    So, if you post something and it winds up not being there in an hour or so, that's why.

    I'm checking things out, but I "think" this is posted on the new server.
