Site Move Thread

[Jim]

I am in the process of preparing the move to a new Hosting Company. The site will go offline for a bit, but when it comes back up it should be pretty much the same. There will be some hiccups, but we will work through them. This is the nature of the beast.

The current hosting company JaguarPC has gone down in quality and service. The site has gone down 3 times this year alone, some of those times over a day at a time. Not cool! JaguarPC lacks effective communication and when they do communicate, it is far from accurate. Having worked in IT for over 14 years, I know Mickey Mouse support when I see it. That being said, I am done with them and it is time to move on.

I am moving to a virtual Private server with Beefy specs that should blow the doors off the current host in speed, and reliability. [-o<

The only downfall is the price, I am now going to be paying over double the monthly hosting fee. :LOL2:

This is the thread we will use to talk about the move and the dates. Please nothing else. Once we have a plan of attack in place I will post it here and hopefully give a rough ETA of when we will be back up. Someone will update Facebook(not me, I hate it) so check there I guess.

Sounds great Mr. Jim

When we move you can delete a few accounts (like BassAddict) right?

Keep up the GREAT work Jim!

seen it done before on another forum,,, all I can say is dont leave a gun near by :lol:

 

[Jim]

Game on, there will be down time for the next couple of days or so while we leave the old host.

 

[Jim]

I cannot for the life of me believe how bad JaguarPC is. Please do not use them for hosting. WOW! :shock:

 

[Jim]

The Fun begins tonight around 6PM. The site will go offline, be backed up, transferred to the new host (40GB of Data :shock: ), Tweaked, DNS changes made and then turned back on.

Or roughly like that :LOL2:

Thanks
Jim

And lots of these. [-o<

Avatars and attachments have been disallowed. Files are being re-located...stay tuned!

 

[Jim]

All attached pictures in the threads will not show up while the move happens. This is as normal, as normal can be. :lol:

 

[Alphawolf]

All files and database have been installed/moved to new server. Just need to wait for DNS propagation.

 

[Jim]

So far so good! DNS propagation is happening. Couple of issues that we are addressing, so stay tuned and keep checking back here over the next day or so.

Thanks for your patience folks!

Will I be even more ruggedly handsome in this server?

Seems as the DNS has already occurred for some.

What's DNS?

 

[Alphawolf]

DNS = Domain Name System

basically it translates the IP address of the server to it's name being tinboats.net

I had a little trouble logging in - would not accept password.
Did a password reset - when I got the email with the temp password, I highlighted and pasted it to log in
No Joy - I had to type the temp password in - then I got in and reset my password to what it was.

Thanks for all you do to keep this site up and running.

It's the pixels, I figgur it's got to be the pixels. The more there are, the more detail the viewer can see, and thus my lean, chiseled features become more defined.

Don't be envious, my good looks have always really been a burden.
