Comics Village - Downtime Expected
Date of Meeting: 13/02/2008 00:00:00
Minute taker: Glenn Carter
Hi,
This website has grown beyond my initial expections in the few short months we've been running. It is now looking increasingly likely it will exceed its bounds for SQL Database storage. Our current host is really good on most factors, but the cost of their DB packages are exorbitant.
For that reason, I will shortly be moving Comics Village over to a new web host, which offers considerably more for a great deal less in order to keep costs down.
During the transition period there will probably be a brief period of downtime as the domain name www.comicsvillage.com is moved to the new server. This should only be at maximum a day, but there is the potential for it to be longer.
In addition, once at the new web host, there is a chance that any users of the website will need to relog in, so please ensure you have a record of your passwords and, if not, change it now and record it.
Also, although I will take the last imprint of the DB as late as possible, any forum, comment or other posts made during the changeover period could potentially be lost (it isn't likely, but I wanted to warn people of the potential).
The move will occur this weekend, and should be finished by our monday morning column and reviews posting session.
Any issues, any users encounter as a result, should be reported directly to me.
Many thanks for your patience,
Glenn Carter
