Future Server Move

[MH-Razen]

Hi guys,

there's a little problem I have to deal with.

LFE moves on a club-server of Sam-City Webhosting. This mean a higher performance and the downtime cause of ddos dont harm this website anymore.

The problem is the move itsself. Strato has to change the target of the domain and I don't know when exactly, only that they will do it this week. After the domain changed I need to upload the files to the new server and put in the database backup - and here's the problem: with every post you make the database of the forum change, and after the domain target changed I can't make backups of this forum anymore.

So there're two ways:
1. I make one or two backups a day to save as many posts as I can and let the forum run untill the move (with the risk that a few posts will be gone after the move)
2. I close the forum untill the move and no post will be lost

your choice...

btw: topsites are closed from now untill the move is done...

i'd vote for number 2 even though i'd prefer number 1. I doubt I'd need to state any reasons.

I voted for #2 too, despite the fact that i'd like number 1.
How long are the server change gonna take?

[MH-Razen]

not long, I need to recognize that the changes are done and then I will change it, so in case I just sleep half a day, in other cases... one or two hours

Number 2 as well...

[MH-Razen]

hm... think I'll close forum today before I go to bed...

so in... 5 or 6 hours

waaaahhhh, spam the forums as long as you can!!
Just kidding, but yea, I voted for 2, too. More efficient, I think. Give the people a little break

I voted for number 1--how long would number 2 take, i.e. how long would the forum be closed for?

BP you didn't vote for 1

I voted for 2 too, to keep peace and stay organized.
