Moving

[Jeff]

Talkingballs.co.uk will be moving to a new IP address tonight.

The site will be down for a short time tonight, and depending on how quickly DNS servers are updated, you may not be able to see the site for another day or so - although for most people everything will be working normally on Monday morning.


The new IP address will be 77.240.6.58 - so anyone having problems accessing the site after the move will be able to edit their hosts file to fix the problem. Anyone who wants to know how to do this can find more information here.


I am copying a lot of sites from this server today, and this may result in the site slowing down for a while. Please don't report this, I will be aware of it.


I will post another announcement tonight with more details on the timing of the move.

Any reason for the move Jeff?

The new server is a slightly better spec, but will cost £23 a month less.

I generally only like to keep a server for around a year or so, as it reduces the chance of things like hardware failure.

I'll keep the old one for a week after the move, so if the new company turns out to be rubbish I can easily move back.

****, we've only got half an hour and we could be offline for a day.

Right, who's ready for a 30 minute hammer burst of insults in GC. I need to release 24 hours worth of them ASAP

I expect the site will start working for most people in the early hours of the morning, but I'll do what I can to make you wait longer.

If you'd like to pay me the £24 a month extra the old server was costing I'd gladly have stayed at the old place.

A very small minority of people have had problems getting on the site, it was something I did warn people about in advance, and I offered people a work-around to avoid the problem.

If people are still having problems with www.talkingballs.Co.Uk try it without the www instead and vice versa.
