Server and System Status

At the risk of being repetitive, work on this continues. We’re in no rush to get this done too quickly, especially as shortcuts taken under pressure when setting up server NC031 (the current web server) led to some inconsistencies in how some accounts were set up that we’re only now able to deal with fully, and this is the best opportunity. Once those are sorted out we will do a test migration of some non-client test domains, and only when it is clear that the test migrations work flawlessly will we move client domains.

For this reason we’re not going to commit to finishing the migration to NC041 this weekend. We are, however, alive to the issues that have prompted this migration in the first place, and we are working diligently to get it done without undue delay.

That said, we have set up some clients on the new server if they happen to be in the process of setting up a new website anyway, and others that are new clients. If you’re in the unique position of being on the cusp of setting up a new website and would prefer to abandon your old website on the old server and start afresh on the new server, please contact us and we will do that for you immediately.

Thank-you.

Work on this continues, but instead of a straight migration we have set up the new server from scratch. We’re in the process of adding domains that will not be migrated from NC031 to NC041.

Work on this continues. We will shortly set up a number of domains on the new server that are awaiting a newer version of PHP, but do not need to be migrated. Following that, domains will be migrated from server NC031 to NC041.

At this point we are not anticipating much, if any, down time. However, this is subject to revision. Please contact support if you would like further details as they may apply to your account.

Please note that this maintenance and migration affects only websites. It does not in any way affect email.

We will be finalising work this weekend on setting up a new server on which the latest version of PHP will be available for those web apps that require it. If all goes well, all websites will be migrated in one fell swoop. If there are issues to overcome this will be delayed to some point during next week or perhaps on the following weekend.

Please check back here for updates. Thank-you.
