Changing servers 10/13-10/15

by beatthegmat » Wed Oct 11, 2006 5:26 pm
Folks:

In order for this site to be more scalable and stable in the future, we have to change our hosting. I have decided to switch my hosts from 1and1 to GoDaddy.

From 5:00 PM (Pacific Standard Time) 10/13 through the evening of 10/15, I will be disabling all new posts to this forum while I work with a contractor to migrate the Beat The GMAT! database to our new server.

My apologies for the inconvenience! Just to caveat--any new user registrations made between 10/13 and 10/15 may be lost during the migration, so some new people in the community may need to re-register.

Cross your fingers for a smooth transition! Thanks!

Yep, I think I would be open to adding more inbox space for folks. :)

Excellent.

You'll be pretty happy with GoDaddy.

Also use their analytical tools (if they provide them to you with your account) well. It's muchos helpful analyzing the who/where/when of your visitors.

(PS: I hope you're doing a dry run first. In spite of GoDaddy's sustained quality, I've still encountered minor issues in the past during dry runs. No server is exempt from a few hiccups in the beginning.)

I'm sure there will be plenty of hiccups. :)
