Server downtime

[Roger]

Our hosting company was purchased by Rackspace last year. They are closing the data center that houses our server and moving the servers to another location 15 miles way.

The move date is September 22, 2018 0:00 to 08:00 Central Time.

There will be significant downtime on both servers at the same time.

 

[Roger]

Update: The date is changing to October 14th.

 

[Roger]

Reminder the move is tonight!

The shutdown will occur at 1am Eastern time and there will be significant downtime.

 

[Roger]

It's been rescheduled for November 4th!

Couldn't they reschedule for November 5th then they could have a bonfire with the old servers

 

[Roger]

Ha ha

Our servers will be moved tonight. The planned outage is from 00:01 -6 UTC to 6am in the morning.

This would be 06:01am to 12:00pm Central European time, so 05:01am to 11:00am UK time.

It's 6:53 Eastern Standard Time and SimOuthouse seems to be back and running well!

Thank you to the server migration team. Good job!
