SERVER UPGRADE _ PLEASE READ

#1 Postby mf_dolphin » Mon Sep 20, 2004 10:26 am

We will be moving to a new server this week. We have scheduled it for tomorrow starting at 9PM eastern time. As it looks now we will not be changing the IP address so you should not have to change any of your links. The site will be down for a few hours while the move takes place.

The new server specs are as follows:

Dual 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processors
2 - 73 GB SCSI hard drives
2GB RAM

This should alleviate the issues we've been having with the server during the peak times. Keep your fingers crossed :-)

I guess we can call this a small break for everyone (except Chad, Steve and myself ;-) ) We should be getting good at moving the server by now. this makes the 5th server move in 2 years! We appreciate everyone's patience over the last few weeks.
