Dedicated Server Moves! »

Smithers being moved onto new hardware.

Smithers seems to have some bad memory, so we’re moving it onto new hardware right now. The whole process should take less than an hour, and leave all of our customers hosted on that machine with a shiny new webserver.

    Personally, I would have put this under “Single Server Issues” rather than just “General Outages”. But that’s just me.

    I’ve got multiple sites down as well. Did this migration go sideways and result in an outage?

    Moving of a single server to new hardware does NOT affect the stability of other servers. The moving likely took between 30min to 1 hour . Any other downtimes are unrelated and need to be handled by a request to support.

    @koko
    I don’t see a problem with http://www.erasmusdk.be... Maybe the problem is that you just uploaded your stuff and are still testing things? I see you have testpostings allover your blog, and no ‘real world’ comments as of yet, that might be your problem right there: debug your scripts :)

    @Franky
    Mail and web are seprate machines. You might want to check yout domain’s DNS settings.
