Thread: Server migration (Saturday, October 27, 2018)

    Default Server migration (Saturday, October 27, 2018)

    All,

    we'll migrate to a new server this coming weekend (October 27-28). We'll
    disable our vBulletin system Saturday morning and re-enable it after the
    migration process (this might take 48 hours).

    Our sites (including SetupBuilder web update) might be on and off until
    sometime Sunday afternoon, but never completely down for more than ten
    minutes.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and appreciate your
    patience.

    - Server migration will begin on Saturday at 8am Eastern.
    - We'll disable our vBulletin board at 7am Eastern.
    - We'll disable our SetupBuilder Web Update at 7am Estern (this will not
    affect your own Web Update functionality).

    Don't forget to reduce your TTL

    Currently TTL=172800

    Yes, interesting. I think it's completely out of my control - this two day
    "time to live" setting is the default and standard value. IMO, it's all
    about money - seems to be very expensive ($$$) to set it to, say, 60
    seconds.

    Nah, you should hopefully be able to do this temporarily. Check your
    ISP and/or registrar. For example:

    The idea is to do this several days in advance so that all of the DNS
    caches will know to load your changes ASAP when the switch is made.

    When you're done, change the TTL to normal.

    Hi Jeff,

    good news. Our registrar told me that our TTL is 1 hour time.

    I am curious what domain(s) reported 172800 (48 hours).

    It's dirt simple to lookup for any domain, use nslookup...
