Steve Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hey everybody, Just wanted to let you know that we have purchased a new dedicated server for LST and plan to migrate the site to it sometime next week. We're beefing up the hardware considerably, so we should see an end to the periodic dreadful sluggishness that we've been plagued with recently. Thanks again for your patience with the site performance in the meantime. (Until we move know that when it does slow down it rarely lasts for more than ten minutes or so.) Thanks to everyone for helping LST grow so quickly! else and Reyeslv 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3447-lst-is-moving-to-a-new-server-soon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Heads up that we're probably moving to the new server tomorrow night. Fingers crossed there will be minimal downtime, but after last nights' shenanigans by the web host I'm crossing fingers and toes on both hands and both feet. Regardless, we WILL end up live on the new dedicated server with enough hardware to easily handle the site's growth for a good while. There will probably be some performance issues and what not for the first day or two while we tune the server, but it should be smooth sailing by the end of the week. Thanks again to everybody for putting up with it and not complaining too much lately. Not that we mind bug reports etc, but you know what I mean. There have been some especially craptastic moments lately. gougetheeyes, else and Iwar 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3447-lst-is-moving-to-a-new-server-soon/#findComment-59692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Ok - we have confirmed that the switch to the new server will happen starting around 8pm PST tonight. LST should be offline for less than 30 minutes - might be a good time to watch some interviews on our youtube channel or something. ..insert clever ideas of other stuff to do here...
