MacDaddy Server Move In Progress
Tuesday, January 16, 2007

You may have noticed a few changes in the Motivation To Move website over the last 24 hours.

Motivation To Move has grown so rapidly over the last year we’re now moving to our third hosting setup.  This time - we’ve made our biggest commitment yet.

Our new system is world-class in every way!

Most sites these day share resources and servers.  That’s great until you really begin to grow and things bog down.  Frankly, that kind of setup is not acceptable.

As of now, our servers are owned and operated by Motivation To Move and hosted by one the best, most reliable providers anywhere.  They are scalable, bandwidth is huge and under our control, and our tech support contract requires 24-hour monitoring and immediate action in the event that anything happens.

That’s the great news.  But there is alway something.

Our new IT team handled the server setup and transition so well you you may not notice a thing.  However, since can take up to 48 hours before the rest of the world’s servers “get the memo” we’ve changed, you might experience some strange behavior.  A forum post may disappear or possibly your membership registration may not activate. And if you’re looking for a Premium Membership - you may find a bug or two.  These are all very normal during a change like this.

For the next 48 hours we’re waiting for the Internet computers catch up with us.  As soon as they do, we’ll sync up our database and start rockin’ again.

If you have any challenges - just give it a few hours and try again.  Things will probably be fine.  If it continues - please let us know right away so we can put that new tech support contract to a test.

So, thank you for your patience and I promise it will be worth it.

Next step?  A total and complete website redesign that will blow you away.  I can’t wait!
