Server Migration - Archived by George

[George]

Hello,

I've just had an email from my webhost, and we are moving to a new server, rather than me explaining it, I'll copy and paste the email:

Dear George,

In our efforts to continuously improve our services and make them even more stable and safer, SiteGround will be replacing our current hosting servers with new, top-of the-line hosting machines. In line with the introduction of the latest server hardware and to make sure you can enjoy the benefits of the latest technology we use, our server administrators will transfer the following accounts: thediscussionlobby.net, currently hosted on the following server: siteground271.com to the new machines.



IMPORTANT TRANSFER INFORMATION:

SiteGround has scheduled the transfer from your old server to the new hardware for March 23rd, 2011 (Wednesday).

Your websites will NOT experience downtime or data loss during the transfer. After the migration all traffic to the old server will be automatically forwarded to the new one as an extra precaution to avoid data loss during DNS propagation period.

Our latest, high-end production machines are equipped with more powerful and reliable hardware. This will increase the quality of our services by enhancing the performance of our customers' websites in terms of both stability and speed and significantly reducing the risk of downtime.

We strongly recommend that you do not make any changes on your sites during the transfer from 01:00AM to 06:00AM EST on March 23rd 2011 in order to make sure you will not lose any modifications or updates from that period.

So to sum up, we're moving to a more modern server that should increase the website's speed, uptime and it will have all the latest technology to serve the website

We have been told the website won't experience downtime, so you personally have nothing to worry about, just thought I should let people know incase you do get any problems.

Thank you.

Thanks George, I think we will all find that its needed.

Personally I'm happy with the current server. We've never had downtime with the current host in the year we were using it, nor did we suffer because of attacks, speed issues, etc.

But yes, the new server should be better.

RE: Server Migration

The operation was successful, the site is now under power from more powerful servers.
