possible site downtime and lost posts
Jan 31st, 2021 at 11:12am
 
I am transferring the site to a different hosting plan. I have put in the request, but I do not know when it will start. There may be some downtime or lost posts. I'll keep you updated here.

Will this affect PA as well?  If so I need to give them the heads up.

How much notice, do you anticipate being able to give [to the site downtime commencing] ?

1/2 an hour ?

Hours ?

Or a day ?

If you can see this post, you are looking at the new server. Any posts you make now will not get deleted. It looks like we have lost posts made after about 1am.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

I had something similar happen. It seems that the DNS propagation (letting the world know the the site's IP address has changed) varies depending on how you access the internet. So maybe some ISP's don't run updates as often.

I have been told to allow 4 hours for DNS propagation in cutover planning. The world should be up to date in 4 hours is the rule of thumb I believe. Some take minutes.

Has anyone noticed any change in server performance this week - eg website speed, forum bugs?

I reckon the site has been a little faster.

I did encounter the odd "down for maintenance" message for a brief period.


BTW ... was the old hosting site using https?

I notice this one is now "not secure".
