I will be taking the server offline for a couple of hours today at around midnight GMT (that's about 3.5 hours from now), to migrate the site to a new (bigger) server.
Site going offline for server migration at midnight GMT
- Thread starter Simon Hampel
- Start date
Thanks for the heads-up Sim.
Its quarter past and I'm still on?
midnight GMT is 1am BST
What does BST stand for?
I said around midnight, not on the dot. Will be going offline in around 5 minutes time I gues.
I assume "British Standard Time" ?
Either way - going offline real soon now.
By the way - it may take up to a day or so for you to be able to get back online once the site has been moved - there will be a DNS change required as part of the relocation and it can take some time before your local DNS gets updated with the new server information.
Site is now back online - please let me know if you find anything on the site which doesn't seem to be working correctly.
Yes, I'm aware of this issue. It arose as a result of some of the optimisations I was trying to implement the other day to improve site performance. I'll see if I can work out what the problem is and fix it - it is unrelated to the server move today.
British Summer Time, but in fact I was a month early so you are actually still on GMT.
