Maxman Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 The web host told us they were going to physically move our server to a new and improved part of their data center. What actually happened was MUCH more involved than that. They changed everything about the server including IP addresses. We had to even recreate \ copy some things. Short story = sorry for the downtime. Some people won't be able to get here right away until the DNS changes take place for them. http://72.232.207.235/forums/ that should work for everyone in the meantime. Thanks.

Bob Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Glad you're back. I actually resorted to posting on JI. Only in the political forum, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed IP addys without any warning? When did IHop get into the server hosting business? I think we were sabotaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 They changed IP addys without any warning? When did IHop get into the server hosting business? I think we were sabotaged. They sent a notice out a few weeks ago saying we have to move. This is a new server (few months). They don't offer any night (off hours). I get a note this week saying it has to be done by the end of the month or else the server wouldn't be available. The IP address change was a nice feature as well.

Sometimes global DNS changes can take 2 days to propagate (though these days it seems to be MUCH quicker). I would see if I could get them to throw you a few months free hosting for this blunder...

Yes there are definitely going to be some people that don't propagate. I put the IP link on our twitter page. Hopefully some people check there: http://twitter.com/jetnation (Note: Just realized that we seem to be missing some smilies. YEAH. Will work on that tomorrow I guess).

war ensemble Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 It's good you got everything back on track, I suppose. Still a pretty quick turnaround with all the unexpected stuff.

There are a bunch of issues, hope to have them all fixed soon. Haven't been on the network side for awhile, but how long does it take for DNS changes to make it's way around the internet these days? Hope it's not too long. I know for me, I checked last night after midnight and got nothing, even first thing this morning.. It's a shame cause if the hosts had told you, you could have circulated it prior.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame cause if the hosts had told you, you could have circulated it prior.. The same 24 - 48 hour rule still applies. But in many cases now it happens in as little as 15 minutes. It isn't as bad as it used to be. Typically we would setup a redirect from the old ip to the new one for anyone that has the old DNS settings. The host refused to do that for us (still won't) which only serves as a source of additional frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
