Tonight we are moving most of the remaining hosting servers. These are legacy boxes running older CGIs/apps such as Tango, & Lasso 2, and FileMaker 4. They were originally scheduled for last night (Sunday), but some priority colo moves pushed them out a day.

Moves will start later, around 1 AM.

Here are the servers going:

acacia, ash, bamboo, banyan, commerce, commerce2, commerce3, cork, fm4.infoasis, ironbark, ivy, magnolia, mangrove, maple, mulberry, orchid, redbud, teak, and yucca.

We will post results when finished.

Colocated servers started moving over the weekend, and will continue every night from here until we finish sometime in March. For obvious reasons, we will not be publishing the servers by name here on the support blog. However, the schedule remains pretty much the same. Between 8 and 30 servers moving a night, usually between 11 PM and 2 AM. Some clients have requested different schedules, but most prefer the "wee hours."

Our customer service staff have been in contact with most colo and dedicated server owners. If you haven't heard from them yet, you will be soon. I want to thank all of you, our clients for being so flexible with server move schedules overall, and understanding when it comes to this minimum downtime while we move your servers.

The remaining posts to the public blog will be when we transition this server (www.forest.net), our mail, and DNS servers, migrating the remaining shared resources. We'll also post the occasional picture of a server move if we have anything of note to show. Expect some shots of the decommissioning process as well... should be interesting.
