IMPORTANT: Imminent Server Move

Post by **Trestkon** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 9:19 pm

I'd just like to give some advanced warning to everyone that we've purchased hosting with a new (and much better) company. We'll be leaving Gisol for Lunarpages in the very near future.

I'll be transferring a lot of TNM content before I get around to moving the forums and website, but when I do everything should be offline for a day (at absolute max). I'll mass email everyone on the forum when I'm about to start the switch and then suspend posting until it's completed so that nothing is lost.

Basically, except for a little downtime, nothing at all will appear to change. Of course, it will be nice to be with a company that has some decent tech support, from now on

Good luck!

It's a bit of a nightmare, but it'll be worth it!

Great news

I hope this'll improve uptime by a bit

If nothing else, LunarPages is cheaper and gives us unlimited FTP accounts. We're getting pretty damn tired of only having 25 available FTP accounts

*only* 25?

We have a large team :p Also, HDTP uses FTP accounts.

On another note, we received a free domain with our new hosting, so we registered: http://www.thenamelessmod.com/

Woot! Once I have everything setup I'll just make that the actual address of the website, and have tnm.offtopicproductions.com redirect to it (as so many things are already linking to that address)

Sounds like an administrative nightmare :p

Anyway, fancy new domain

Seems like you've been successfull, Trestkon - congratulations!

Thanks \o/

There are probably still a few bugs floating around, but we'll sort them out soon enough.

When I try to access the forums via TNM's navi I get your custom server change-message but it works via HDTP.

New servers!

Forums via TNM navigation works fine here btw.

Nope and the difference between the pages of TNM and HDTP is the "www"
