EHM-1829 Trevor:
Where can i get withdrawal therapy at such short notice? :[
Hope migration goes well;)
EHM-0654 Murray:
Believe us, if we could have offered more notice, we would have...
Unfortunately, matters are becoming untenable with BH and it's just far easier to "bite the bullet" and move.
EHM-1703 Philip:
Sorry Trevor,
I know its quick and we have not given much notice but let me give you a timeline...
Last Sunday...
Web Site went down (again) and numerous problems were experienced with current site. (Download problems, service suspended etc. etc.)
Monday...
At the EHM Staff meeting it was decided to go ahead with the server purchase ASAP instead of waiting to see out our current contract with BlueHost. Bruno got in touch with our new provider, POWERVPS and started the ball rolling by purchasing the new package.
Tuesday...
The new server was activated and the day was spent working with the Control Panel, installing stuff that is required by EHM and upgrading some of the standard software on the server.
Wednesday...
Migration tests were done by copying parts of the site and setting up the database as well as performing other tests to allow us to migrate and change the DNS.
Today...
Tests were completed and the task of "moving house" began. 21:00z All the developers agreed and the decision was taken to close down over the weekend to maximise the manpower we can throw at the change over during Saturday and Sunday.
That's it.
YOU CAN STILL FLY OVER THE WEEKEND. Use the Flight logger and save your PIREPS, then when the site comes back up, you can send them in.... Unfortunately ProPilot will have to be suspended for the weekend!
I must lastly say a big thanks to all of you who donated to enable this to happen... I hope that the improved service is appreciated by all and that we can now move on to making new stuff for you guys instead of sticking plasters on the broken stuff to keep it going! :)
Cheers,
