I'm going to be taking the site down around midnight tonight.  I'm going to be migrating it to a new hosting provider.  

 

DNS settings are going to have to change and propagate throughout the web.   This may take up to 48 hours.

 

Hopefully the downtime is a lot less then that and when everyone wakes up tomorrow you don't notice any difference.  But if not, this is the reason.

Work?  

 

It should be back up by the time you get to work.   In the extreme case, it may take that long.  

Thanks for letting us know. We all appreciate it. And we appreciate your efforts in making this a great site. 

Thanks Rich, appreciate the info and the work that goes on behind the scenes!

What's the new IP in the meantime?

If you're using Windows, go into a command prompt tomorrow morning and type: ipconfig /flushdns to clear the DNS cache on your machine.  That will force the system to go and ask the internet DNS servers for a new address.  It won't work if the DNS server you are pointing to hasn't got the new address, but it's worth a shot.

What's the new IP address so we can't edit our host files to point to the new site?

I believe it is going to be 198.89.125.8

We should be back online. Was a fun night. Don't think I'll be doing this again anytime soon unless I absolutely have to.

Let me know if you see any issues with the site.

It was a seemless experience .. except for the fact I actually had to work when I got into the office first thing today. ;-)

Hmm, can reach on my mobile but not ie8, Firefox or chrome...

Gonna say same thing. Works on my cell. Not on my computer. Still says it's down for maintenance.

Works fine for me on my cell and my WIndows 8 laptop in Chrome or IE.  The IP address is: 198.89.126.233 according to Google dns server (8.8.8.8).  Clear your dns cache if you get something else.

My work comp is running windows 93 or something. Maybe that's the problem.

Was down on my work computer all day

Works fine on my laptop. Interesting that before the change I couldn't quote a message on IE but could on Google Chrome. Now I can quote using both browsers. 

It is the same for me. Works on my phone. Hopefully Shaw pushes the updates soon. (And mts if it isn't working there either)

The quotes in IE was a separate fix. Managed to find a patch for that a few days ago.

Thanks all for your patience.
