Server Move - Complete

Alex Hess · 04-04-2009, 12:21 PM

Hello Team,

I wanted to let everyone know about a server move that we are undergoing in the near future.

I have been collaborating with ThePlanet servers company and we are in the process of configuring a new server. Our current host (OffShore hosting) is not keeping up with our demands and we cannot afford to have our users suffer because of this.

Our needs have changed, therefor we will be moving servers. Within the next 48 hours you will see ExoMagic going up/down. During this time we will be migrating to ThePlanet servers hosted in Texas. They are the fantastest network in the US and will provide optimum performance. We will also be customizing the source-codes of the website to integrate properly with the new configuration.

Please be aware and take note of this move. DNS-FLUSH may be required in the near future to propogate information through your ISP. Some users may experience longer downtime then others due to this.

Thank you for your understanding!

Yeah, I can't get on sometimes too. It acts like it would if the site didn't exist.

Alex Hess · 04-05-2009, 08:22 AM

Correct, this is a simple DNS issue, however the host has gone down 133 times within the past year. In my book that is not acceptable, even if one user is denied access.

There will be more downtime when we fully transfer, I will do my best to document the change and provide tips on making it as smooth as possible.

Thank you,

// Edit //

We are currently up and running!

Enjoy the new quicker site everyone

Hurray! I got really sick of downtime the last few days before my weekend away. Glad to see things resolved. It is freaking quick too.

Alex Hess · 04-06-2009, 12:38 AM
