Title: We have moved!
Post by: Rick on Mar 22, 2009, 10:14:36
We are planning to move the O.A.S. websites from PowWeb (who are based over on the West Coast of America) to a new provider in the U.K.. We'll try to manage this with as little disruption as possible, but there will be some disruption. The move will be happening during the first week of April.

This move should be happening this weekend. There may be a break in service, and times when things look a little confusing. We'll try to keep the break as short as possible, and let you know when they're complete.

Apologies in advance for any inconvenience we cause while we're moving things.

If you have website or gallery updates planned, and they're not absolutely urgent, then please save them for after the move.

Thanks.

Please do not update the main website or the gallery until the transfer is complete.

The forum will be backed up tonight (Saturday), and any conversation that happens after the backup will not be transferred.


I'll try to remember to post a suitable warning in the PowWeb forum after it has been backed up.

Good job Rick.
...and Ian, who did the hard work of tracking down a new provider and negotiating a deal with them.  :D

Well done Rick, seems quick at the moment.
