Upcoming service disruptions! December 2024

Unread post by xantia_v6 »

Over the next month I will need to take the forum offline a few times in preparation to a move to a new hosting company. The current company has been providing very good service at a good price for the last 10 years, but have decided to shut down rather than upgrade to more modern hardware.

We have selected a new hosting company which has offered a better, faster, bigger VPS at a slightly higher cost (which we can afford).

I intend to do all the maintenance and testing in the window of 00:00 to 05:00 UK time, on about 2 nights per week, with the intention of having the move complete by 20/12/2024. I won't be giving any further notice of outages which fall into those windows.

Due to some (self-inflicted) difficulties in getting the new server configured, and an upcoming holiday, I won't be switching over to the new server until the first week of January 2025. I may still take the existing server offline for brief periods of testing.
