webhead 519 Posted October 21, 2019 Our host has a server right now that is basically exactly the same as our current one but for 10 bucks a month less so I'm working on a move right now. I think I've figured out a way to do it with moving the nameservers ahead of time and keeping the DNS pointed at the old server then moving it once the nameservers are for sure propagated. That should mean only a couple hours of downtime for some of you once I make the switch. I haven't decided exactly when I'm doing it but just wanted to throw this out ahead of time so you know. 2 ISO Share this post Link to post

webhead 519 Posted October 21, 2019 I don't know why you would boo that lol. Also: Switching the nameservers to the new server with DNS pointing back at this one. Worst case scenario, edit your hosts file to point oldschoolforum.com to IP address 192.111.152.218 until I fix it if I need to fix it (I tested it though and it should work fine but I haven't done this before lol). When the time comes, I've got the dns TTLs set to 1 hour and I'll make the IP switch and everything should be g2g. ISO Share this post Link to post

webhead 519 Posted October 21, 2019 I'm actually taking steps to ensure the switch is super quick with little downtime! ISO Share this post Link to post

webhead 519 Posted October 24, 2019 I've always done pretty good at making these movies quick imo. Ralph was the one that did moves that took like a week or two. ISO Share this post Link to post
webhead 519 Posted October 24, 2019 Okay move is done. If you notice any weirdness, you know, say something. Edit: The search index is rebuilding btw so it may take several hours for search/unread things to work ISO Share this post Link to post
