We're moving the sites to a newer and better equipped data center. After the last round of upgrades they put us through, without warning, and the subsequent answers we've received from them about all that was broken or lost, this move is the best thing for our membership. A new data center and cluster has been secured at a state of the art facility with some really great and knowledgeable staff. We will end up with faster connectivity, new machines, and hopefully no down time because of the data center staff in the future.
So to that note we plan on making the move this weekend and we will try to minimize the downtime. However, we will need to populate our DNS with the internet again which could take 24 to 48 hours depending on local internet service providers. We will have a fully functional and complete site ready and operational before we migrate the DNS so downtime should be very minimal, but there may some short outage.
