  • We're BACK!!!

    Phew. Sorry about that.

    It took a long time for them to migrate the site to the new hosting account. Actually, it only took them ten minutes to do it. But it took them about 12 hours to get around to it.

      So here is what happened. I wanted to get this fixed today (weekend would have been nicer), otherwise we run up against the 24-hr deadline and we are dead in the water or paying through the nose. So I spoke with Host Gator on the phone and they couldn't make sense of the graph from SiteGround (figures). But the guy I spoke with said that he would be surprised if a group this small would need a dedicated server. In any case, the cost was low (< $10 per month), so I figured we would give it a shot.

      Host Gator offers free migration assistance. After setting up the account, I backed everything up, shut down the forum (so that the database wouldn't get out of synch) and put in a transfer request. Then I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited.... They finally came through at about 11 pm MDT.

      If this doesn't work out, I have a plan C.

            I've been using Host Gator for many years -- they are great.

                I'm angry. I demand better service for my money.

                    Good job. I don't understand any of it, but it is back and running so you must have done a good job.

                            Thanks everyone.

                            Hey, I am wondering if a nice bonus from all this is that MyBoyNoah, Goatnapper, and Rocky will now be able to access the site. It is an entirely new IP address.
