FORUM DOWNTIME!!!
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2009 12:06 amAs many of you will have noticed, the forum was unavailable for most of Tuesday. It appears that the server that hosts it had melted. They've got it running, using an old cotton reel and some sticky-backed plastic but that is a temporary measure. It appears to be running a bit slow at the moment.
I received this message from the host,
I think this means it will be bigger and better than before. It does mean it may go off line again at some point. It also may experience a time shift, where a load of messages disappear... including this one!
I received this message from the host,
is is the Accounting department at HasWeb.com. Due to a recent hardware failure on Jet28, your account is currently being transferred to Jet36. This server is an upgrade from Jet28, with a higher capacity for performance. Please note that this adjustment will not cause any change in the billing of your account, but a transfer of files is necessary.
Under normal circumstances, we here at HasWeb provide advance notice of account transfers and/or changes. However, due to the nature of this hardware failure this transfer will need to take place immediately to ensure complete data retention. Your quality of hosting is of our utmost concern, and we aim to migrate your account to Jet36 as quickly as possible. Your account will be restored from a daily backup taken in the early morning of 6/9/09.
If your domain is pointed to the default nameservers listed below, there will be no need to update your DNS record:
================== some letters and numbers and stuff==================
However, if you utilize custom nameservers, please update them at the registrar level to reflect the following IP addresses:
================== some numbers and dots but no letters ==================
We apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused you, and sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
