Painful Migration to a New Server
Sunday, May 3rd, 2009Phew! What a week it’s been. We are now on a new more powerful server bought from Hostgator.com and it comes with 8GB RAM. 500 GB Disk Space and 4 a Core Xeon Processor. This means much more space, speed and reliability.
However, the transition, I must say has been very painful, all thanks to Hostgator support. Our site was down for eight long hours solely due to the complete lack of co-operation from their support staff.
I sincerely apologize to all our visitors, who sent disappointed mails and to all others who may have tried accessing the site during this period. We tried our best, but sometimes things are just not in our hands. Wonder what would have happened if not for the intervention of Chad Bean and Brent Oxley who helped us get back online again.
The good news for our visitors is that the site is loading much, much faster now, which makes all the trouble worth it.
I thank you for your continued support and patience.
