Hey guys,

We've officially moved over to our new web host. If you can view this topic, then the DNS has updated for you. I know, more downtime is not something that anyone wants, but this was a necessary change at this point. Again, I am deeply sorry for the issues that we've had, and it is my belief that everything will be as good as gold from here on out.

Welcome back everyone!

I tried to PM you just now but keep getting Server error. So maybe the transfer isn't fully completed yet?
 
Wecome back FP, glad to see back up and running and hopefully will be stronger than ever, VPS / Cloud are the way to go and try to stay away from shared as FP gets popular it will need more resources. Which in most cases not all shared may not be able to support higher demands on a website.

How I would do a migration with 15 minutes of downtime and no "48 hour propagation times" for a large site.

Place a site on Cloudflare and wait 48 hours for that propagate.

During that time, I would setup a VPS with a database, etc. and put a scheduled downtime notice complete with the time and estimated duration on multiple media.

Maybe, do a mock import to make sure that everything is working as it should.

And then, I would put up a static page saying that the site is being migrated, take the board down and import the database into the new database.

I would then get Cloudflare to point at the new host and as it's a reverse-proxy there's no propagation wait.

But, it was urgent to get off USHost247 with it constantly crashing and burning, so FP probably got the best deal it could.
 
Even though it didn't go smoothly, I am glad that is now in the past and that the transfer has been a success.
Looking forward to the SBM going smoothly and hopefully help FP to pick up some pace

Now we on VPS I can feel the speed and power and loading times are allot smoother. Now with most things fixed and moved over and dealt with, it's time to move on back to Xenforo 2.1 upgrade.
 
I’m glad FP is back up now. I’ve been craving to post again 😛

I’m planning on making a Discussion regarding the Future of FP soon.

Is there an ETA for this? A couple of weeks? A month? Maybe two months?
