Moving Servers

I’ll be spending today moving Indemnity83.com to a new server, so if you may see some downtime. Because the site is fairly static I plan on bringing up the second location in parallel with this one and then correcting the DNS to point to the new server so the downtime should be minimal.

Indemnity83.com is huge as far as personal websites go, comming in at just under 4.5GB but luckily the new server and old server are in the same data center, so I can transfer at full network speeds. I’ll still be with 1&1, and would highly recomend them to anyone for web hosting. I originally got on a 3 year free contract, and recently was offered the Developer Package at 50% as an upgrade on my 3-year contract. Indemnity83.com is on its own Developer package at the moment, but I have no need for two packages, so thats why I’m moving.

So now that I’ve bored everybody with my reasons, I should actually get started and stop wasting time.

Files have all been copied, and the new site is setup to run from the existing database, I’m just waiting on the domain move and DNS to update. If everything goes well you’ll never notice the downtime.

Everything is all transfered. Leave me a comment if you notice anything out of whack.
