TOPIC:

Can I let you know that the site will be moving to a new host this weekend. Having trialled the host for the last two week using the test site (abwtest.co.uk), I am confident that the move will put a stop of the availability problems of the last few weeks.

The root cause of the problem was insufficient memory on the server. The new server has 6 times the memory.

While the move is happening, can I ask that you don't update the site as any updates after the move has started will be lost. As last time, I will close the forum during the move.

I am planning to make the move either tonight or tomorrow. You'll know when it is underway from a message on the home screen.

The move should not take more than a few hours. Once it is complete, I will re-open the forum and place a message on the home screen.

Kind regards
David

Thanks for the Warning David......

Will have to go get a bottle of Rum to help me get through the time we are off line.....

Mark, Mike,

Let's hope this transition is a little easier than previous ones and that the site can be settled more quickly than in previous changes.

Fingers crossed!
David

Good luck with the move David

Hi,

The site is now back on line at the new host.

All appears well. If you spot any issues, please let me know.

I would also be interested to hear how you find the site's performance.

With thanks for your patience,
David
