Server Move Coming Soon

Recommended Posts

Our host has a server right now that is basically exactly the same as our current one but for 10 bucks a month less so I'm working on a move right now.  I think I've figured out a way to do it with moving the nameservers ahead of time and keeping the DNS pointed at the old server then moving it once the nameservers are for sure propagated.  That should mean only a couple hours of downtime for some of you once I make the switch.

 

I haven't decided exactly when I'm doing it but just wanted to throw this out ahead of time so you know. :thumbs:

I don't know why you would boo that lol.

 

Also:

Switching the nameservers to the new server with DNS pointing back at this one.

 

Worst case scenario, edit your hosts file to point oldschoolforum.com to IP address 192.111.152.218 until I fix it if I need to fix it (I tested it though and it should work fine but I haven't done this before lol).

 

When the time comes, I've got the dns TTLs set to 1 hour and I'll make the IP switch and everything should be g2g.

I'm actually taking steps to ensure the switch is super quick with little downtime! :shiny:

I've always done pretty good at making these movies quick imo.  Ralph was the one that did moves that took like a week or two. :rotfl:

Okay move is done.  If you notice any weirdness, you know, say something.

 

Edit:  The search index is rebuilding btw so it may take several hours for search/unread things to work
