Topic: Hosting change and site downtime on Sunday

Hello,

Bricksinmotion.com will be down for perhaps the majority of Sunday, March 6th. We're working with the previous admin and host of this site, Schlaeps, to move the site to a new webhost.  The end result should be for the better, just bear with us during the transfer.

The chat room is hosted elsewhere and should still be available at the url: http://www.tinyurl.com/bimchat or the actual irc url, irc://irc.msgplus.net/brickfilms

Used to be 'Caidence'

Re: Hosting change and site downtime on Sunday

Now I've got to find something else to do from 3:00 to 6:00 on Sunday. I might finish the script(s) I've been working on.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Hah, I'm never on on Sunday anyway. Just don't break anything, mmmkay? mini/wink

My thoughts exactly.  mini/twitch

But we all know our wonderful leader Smeagol will get us through this with our sanity still intact. mini/bigsmile

Smeagol lost his sanity long ago.




We all did.

Re: Hosting change and site downtime on Sunday

I honestly dont care if this site is down for a week - moving to a new host is a brilliant idea. Please take your time. Apart from one little thing...

Re: Hosting change and site downtime on Sunday

Keep in mind Schlaeps hosts the site, pays for it and owns it so this decision is up to him and not Smeagol.

I can't wait!

Re: Hosting change and site downtime on Sunday

Cool, new webhost.

Is that like a complete transfer of the files on this site to a new server?

Re: Hosting change and site downtime on Sunday

Basically.

This will still be happening, but we're not sure when, now, as we're waiting on some info from the original domain registrar, Thomas Foote, before we can get it transferred over to the new host.

edit: um nevermind again, contact has been accomplished.

WEBHOST]

Isn't our webhost, 'bricksinmotion.com' ? Or is that a domain name? I am sorry, I don't know nuttin' about internet. What is a webhost?

Re: Hosting change and site downtime on Sunday

That's the domain name. The webhost is the treasure chest server that within is the data for this site.

Domain. And it's web. Not internet. =P A webhost is a service that keeps a server up and running 24/7 while you pay, rather than paying for your own server.

This is annoying.I'm in New Zealand. I'm thinking if this will happen real late Sunday or Early Monday?  mini/lol

Re: Hosting change and site downtime on Sunday

Yeah bricksinmotion.com is back! mini/bigsmile

Glad to see no extreme changes to the site.

Re: Hosting change and site downtime on Sunday

Indeed. My Sunday wasn't complete without it (okay, that's pathetic, I was fine), and I hadn't noticed this thread as I'd been away for two days and not checked anything on here.

So, Smeagol, is everything sorted? Or are there still some minor/major adjustments to be made?

I don't make Brickfilms. I trade virtual hats.
