Default board hosting problems......

As a result of the board being bigger and having more members/posts than we anticipated it seems we have outgrown our current hosting package. The server we are running off can not give us the capacity we need and we are constantly crashing the sql server and the board runs slow as a consequence. As a result of this we are moving to our own server. As we move we will have some downtime. I am hoping to be moving the database and board over the weekend sometime. I will try and do it as quickly as I can but it probably will take me a few hours. I can either leave the board up at the same time as I transfer it over or I can put it offline. If I leave it up any posts made in the transfer peiod will be lost when we transfer.

Either way the transfer will fix all the poblems we have had over the past 2 weeks and the board will be back and quick as ever and the extra capacity we will get with the move means the board can go forward and grow without having any downtime. We also will be able to accomodate the large numbers of users that we have been getting online at any one time.

I will keep you posted in this thread as the transfer happens!

No worries Jonny, it's for the best.

In recent times I have found myself having to log in 3 or 4 times in a row just to get on. A general slowness and all kinds of crazy shit happening like a page appearing that have random text scrawled all over it. :040105_emKF25_prv:

Thanks for the hard work you have put in though to try and maintain this current version of the board.

Is there a cost to all this jonny? If so don't forget to share it around. It is not fair if you are paying all the bills.

it will be a bastard of a job but its got to be done to get the board running fast and staying fast no matter how many users we get on ( well more than enough for us)

I may be able to do it tomorrow morning if the server is fully configured and ready to go by then.......
