This is an advance warning that on Saturday 1 July 2006, all accounts on the current server will be relocated to a new server.
The relocation will begin in the early hours of Saturday 1 July 2006.
The new server will feature the following:
- Dual Xeon Processors
- Minimum of 2GB RAM (previously 1GB)
- 10,000 RPM Ultra320 SCSI hard drive (Previously IDE)
The key improvement is the hard drives as we will now be able to move away from the 3ware IDE/SATA RAID controllers that have been giving us a lot of trouble lately and are simply not performing as needed.
The new server will also feature a new and improved backup system, and will also include:
1) Fantastico De Lux w/ Template Express (ALL CPSkins.com material will no longer be offered)
2) DNS Servers on Separate Class C Networks
3) RVSkin
Once this transfer is complete, any changes to your sites on the old server will not be transferred to the new server.
Generally no action will be required on your part, provided that your domain's nameservers are:
NS1.INFERNOHOST.COM.AU
NS2.INFERNOHOST.COM.AU
If your domain's nameservers are set to something different, you will have to change them to the above at your domain registrar.
To check your domain's nameserver settings, use the WHOIS lookup at DNS Stuff (http://www.dnsstuff.com/).
Here is how things will work:
1) This thread will be updated when the data transfer is underway. At this time do not make any changes to your site on the existing server.
2) Once the transfer is complete, the DNS records for the above nameserver will be updated. This will point your domain to the new server.
3) Once the DNS has propagated, your site on the new server will be available to everyone.
4) The old server will remain active for several days, then will be taken offline.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind Regards,
