That wasn’t too bad…
I’m sure you’ve probably noticed that for most of the day the site has been under maintenance, down, or maybe even serving up various PHP guts…I don’t know. Downtime is now over.
I decided that I didn’t have to transfer my domain to get on the new host…I just created an add-on domain and redirected the nameservers to my new InMotion Hosting account. Waiting for my old host to propogate the DNS changes is where the majority of the wait has been…I finished moving the site several hours ago.
I did a little behind-the-scenes cleanup of the ImagesByName and Downloads file folders, so if you encounter any broken downloads, please let me know…I manually edited all of their new locations, so I could have hit commited a typo or two. In fact, if you see anything around the site misbehaving, please let me know about it via the Contact Form.
Update:
It took quite a bit longer than 8 hours for the DNS to change like my previous host had stated. Sorry about that. Aside from that, things appear to be working well. I’m just now fixing my email accounts so that they make use of the new MX records and am receiving my first round of ‘bug reports’. Please continue to send those in using the Contact Me page if you find anything strange. I will fix it right away.
I’ve already had one request for what I did to move this site…anyone else interested? I think I can remember the most important points. There honestly wasn’t a whole lot to it.
