Website Migration

Recommended Posts

Red    1068

Hi All,

As we grow larger the requirement for hosting our services increases, we need more powerful equipment to keep everything up and running. In following with this, we will be moving our website and forums over to a new provider. The change is exciting for us and should be for you also, we will be able to accommodate for faster growth and a larger community; The community will see an improvement in overall performance of the website and services associated with it.

There will be a period of about 2-4 hours tonight where the website may be inaccessible, if you find yourself in this situation don't panic it is just the migration process. If you are experiencing issues for a longer period than I have specified, I would suggest flushing your DNS cache as your cached records may be pointing to the old host. To do this, open command prompt as an admin and type in without the quotes "ipconfig /flushdns"

Any further updates will be supplied as a new message on this thread.

    NOTE: Sometimes (Rarely, but it does occur) domestic internet routers may cache the website address which will prevent the above from working.
    Common steps to troubleshoot the issue include:

    1. Flush your DNS cache manually (You can also go to https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html for specific instructions for your operating system)
    2. Restart your computer
    3. Restart your internet router (Best done when no one else is using the internet!)

    This has been cancelled as the provider was unable to perform the migration in an appropriate manner.
