Title: FYI: Upcoming server move
Post by: Oldiesmann on January 10, 2026, 11:38:01 AM
Early heads up... I'll be moving the site to a new server probably in a month or so (I have to wait a month at the new host before I can have them enable the things that need to be enabled for email to work). I found a good plan with a new host that has twice the memory of the current server for slightly less than what I'm paying now. As always, the transfer shouldn't take much time, but I'll post again before I actually do the move.

You're welcome. The downtime should only last an hour or two at the most (as has been my recent experience, even with moving existing domains to a new server last night), but it might take a bit longer depending on how quickly your ISP updates their DNS records.

Thank you, Phyllis, for letting us know.  I don't always pop in every day so I'm glad I saw this.  Thank you so much for all you do to keep this site going.  :thumbup:

It's Michael (Oldiesman) that takes care us, Ciaobella.   He is our web master and guru.   I just enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Thanks for taking care of us Michael. New year, new server, a good new beginning. I hope all will go without a hitch and we can all enjoy it.
