Site Maintenance: Friday 21st, 13:00-15:00 [CANCELLED]

[iceman (Mike)]

Hi all

This Friday (21st of July 2006), between 13:00 and 15:00, the site will be undergoing maintenance and will be unavailable.

We are moving to a new server, which will involve changing DNS entries. Once the technical move to the new server is complete, the DNS entries will take some time to propagate around the internet. It may take 10 minutes, or it may take several hours (sometimes more) for your ISP to recognise the changes and direct "www.iceinspace.com.au" to the new server.

You'll see a maintenance message on the "old" server, which will indicate that the DNS has not been updated at your ISP yet. Once the DNS is updated, you'll see a different maintenance message on the "new" server, and once the upgrade is complete, the site will be live on the new server.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused during this site maintenance.

The move to a new server is for better speed, reliability and to cater for new features and expected growth in the future. There will be further announcements when the site is live on the new server.

Thanks

Good luck with the change over, Mike. May the gods of DNS, bits and bytes be with you.

Its going to be faster, even for the dial-up people in the country?

Thanks in advance Mike.

This site outage planned for today has been CANCELLED.

It will take place sometime early next week. I'll post another announcement when the exact date/time is known.
