Since my current hosting provider hostmonster.com seems to be having issues, and are not planning to update to some services that I kinda need (new php, ddns, SSL, IPv6) will have to once again move the site to a new server.

Since the new server is unmanaged I have about a weeks worth of set up and testing, then the move. Should be transparent.... but if hostmonster has another hiccup between now and then.... not much I can do.

If anyone has or knows of IPv6 (its the future of the interwebz.... so I hear):

Wooo hoo! Satic IP! -> 192.30.33.112 Hostmonster charges list $2 a month for this... free with new server!

IPv6 IPs:
2604:180::62b3:96e1
2604:180::a812:3d87
2604:180::6e86:2f06
2604:180::7801:5131
2604:180::95b9:101e
2604:180::7a8a:857c
2604:180::3589:268d
2604:180::3f7b:f3ce
2604:180::b242:7136
2604:180::21f4:b9fa
2604:180::876b:1c82
2604:180::152d:fb75
2604:180::7fcf:5614
2604:180::c23b:f070
2604:180::89f0:17bc
2604:180::f20:fde5

test.g508.com is up!

This will simply redirect you here, but the DNS is working, the VPS is configured, LAMP is working and bits are flowing.

Even today I notice that Hostmoster is still lagging when I try to get here..... with any luck will be on the new server by Friday.

450Mb of database moved. SQL replication will be set up shortly to ensure that the forums are in sync.

SSH set up, I can VPN out of work bwaaa haa haa!

SSL is on the horizon...

Get your nerd on!

Big move is set for Sunday, March 3rd. Since most people use their ISP's DNS resolvers, and 99% of those ignore the TTL set by the zone file *my* shit will be working. Your access may not work becausesome one with an outdated view of caching DNS performance thinks that ignoring TTL's will speed up the internet.

So some may not see anything till Monday.

WOOT Move is done. The site is BLAZINGLY fast (for me, anyway). Getting off shared hosting on to a virtual server was cheaper and allows me to do more nerd stuff.

A few images are borked... but the site is 99%. Will clean up the small stuff soon.
