Moving to a bigger server... again

Journal Home Official Blog

Posted in News

Hi,

I am in talks with another service provider to move JournalHome to another, (hopefully more reliable), server.
This will give us more room, (as we are fast running out of space), and hopefully they will offer a better service.

The changes should not be noticable appart for less down time, (hopefully there will be no more down time).
For those of you that are technically minded, there will be double the amount of memory for the database to play with and double the amount of har drive space.
More importanly I am moving because the attitude of the current provider was nothing short of shocking, they don't seem to care that the server is down for a couple of hours at a time. I am yet to have a proper explaination from them for many of the problems we am having.

For the past 3 or 4 months I have been busy re-writting JournalHome to be a lot more flexible than it is now and this is comming along nicely.
I am hoping to have something for testing soon, (but don't worry, JournalHome will not be used for testing, that will be done by others).

The bad news is that the server will be down for 24 hours, but I will give you some warning ahead of time. It will be sometime next week, (but I still need to confirm it with the providers).

About time. I feel pure contempt radiating from the present server. If the next one is better I don't mind 24 hours of downtime, or even 48... Still if you accommodate to the individual user, why not Thursday. On Thursday the only computers I'm around have JournalHome listed as a forbidden resource:(.

forbidden resource
That's another problem, the current provider or one of their users seems to have gone down the dark side.
As we all share the same IP address range, we all get punished.

I'll see if I can do it Thursday, it is a bit short notice.

I just want to confirm a few things with the new provider first.
