Planned downite for upgrade

[SensoVision]

Hi folks, few days ago I've got letter about upgrading server on which our site is hosted, so we'll not be avaiable for few hours. So please be faithful and come back later to new even faster forums Here is some quote of e-mail:

Our Denver data center has begun moving equipment into a new and expanded facility not far from its current location. We want you to know that the server hosting your web site(s) will experience some downtime when it's turn comes up to be delivered and installed in the new facility.

Your move will take place between midnight and 4am EST, Thursday Dec. 4.

Due to the nature of this downtime, it is excluded from our uptime promise as described in our TOS.

This move entails no change to your services, IP addresses, or other aspects of your hosting account. There will be new data carriers in the facility, such as Cable & Wireless, Internap, ICG, Qwest and Level3. The new facility also boasts
numerous behind-the-scenes upgrades, such as improved HVAC, battery and diesel power backup and on-site security. Most importantly, the move is a sign of growth and success which we are delighted to be a part of.

Because it's only going to be down for 4 hours. Most people wont even notice.
 
I'll  be faithful though.

I've been doing business with this data center for years, since they first started out. Some of the staff I know personally and have been talking with them about this for the last few days. Believe me, they are true professionals and very fast. Together we'll pull off this move smoothly and your forum will be back up as soon as humanly possible!

hey that was even faster than was promised Good job Ed!

BTW folks do you feel any speed increasment on new servers? since it's hard for me to judge about this.

[12noon]

Yes, it's faster for me.

For the painfully curious, your server was moved a distance of 4.3 miles to Englewood, Colorado (USA) just outside Denver. Cable & Wireless is now the primary bandwidth provider.

hey, 12noon, is Englewood closer to your location so singal don't have to travel long way now? maybe that's why our forums start to work faster?

It is faster than it used to be though.
