Server move

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 5:37 pm

Our host will be moving to a fully managed server provider because of all the issues. We have not had issues on this server for a while but it sounds like the others had problems.

Dear Valued Client,

Due to the numerous problems experienced with our current provider we have decided it is in the best interest of RCTHost.com and clients that we move to a new provider. We have found a very reputable and highly recommended server provider who has everything we need and much more. With the new provider we will be able to consolidate 5 servers into just 2 dual xeon servers with hyperthreading technology. These 2 servers will be able to handle all accounts without a problem. Shortly after the move we will add a 3rd server for new accounts. The best part about our new provider will be the speed in resolving issues. These are fully managed servers and so everything will be taken care of quickly and professionally.

We are planning to move immediately. We will have the first server setup later tonight which is when we will start moving data. There will be little to no downtime expected during the move and our new provider will be taking care of the entire move to ensure there are no problems.

Our forum is currently down due to a problem with server 1. Once it is back up we will post announcements about the move status. The entire move should take less than 1 week.

Thank you for your continued support of RCTHost.com!

Yep. I figure why fix something that ain't broken, but we'll see what happends in the end time. I'm just not too fond of having 5 servers put into 1...

The server will be moved shortly. They are moving server 4 right now and then we're next. Cross your fingers.

They better not do that phpuexec stunt again.

Oh and some newer posts may be lost in this process, but hopefully not.

We are currently on the new server, at least it apears so. We had some slight downtime (mysql errors) because of the move process, and now things are a little slow, but once things get settled it should be better. I think there's still more moving left to do which will wait till tomorow, so we might get another period of mysql downtime, not sure.
