Yup. Siiw. The server is in the process of changing hands from one company to the next. The account with our old company has expired. We will be moving to a faster and larger server, which currently hosts the domain:
The new server will give us the opportunity to host multiple domains, peacetrainworld.org, dreamofpeace.net, star foundation, from one central hosting manager, which is a whole lot better. The domain name dreamofpeace.net is currently in the process of beign redirected from one server to the next. I imagine we will need to wait a day or two, before it’s ready again…
I hope so… Apologies to everyone for leaving things so late, but it costs money to get a new server up and running, and I haven’t had an awful lot of it
Alright probably should mention now, that while we were backed up within 1 day of the actual transition, we might have lost about 1 days worth of posting… I guess that’s not too bad - the problem was, I didnt’ relaly know when the server would no longer be available…
Hope its not too much of a problem for anyone.
There have been some more difficulties with the domain ame unforutnately, turns out that the “registrar” has “locked” the domain, whcih might mean some delays in transferring it to the new server. the hosting company was not aware of this, as it is quite an unusual and irregular practise.
have been writing emails, and hopefully everthing will get sorted soon.
Okay. Well I have spoken to the previous hosting company. They are in the process of updating the “name servers” so that the address dreamofpeace.net will point to the new server…
This usually takes a day or two to update. Hopefully it will get working over this weekend, but I can’t be entirely definite…
Well I just thought I’d let you know that this might take a few hours to upload!
Apparently the database (compressed is 26.2 mb), yet uncompressed on my computer it jumps up all the way to a horrible 263 mb! Usually on the server, it’s size is about 100mb…
I don’t quite undersrtand the varying sizes, but I’m pretty sure it has something to do with compression
Anyway such large files are difficult to upload on the cPanel control panel for a server, so I might need to break it up into a number of different parts, which while time consuming will hopefully allow us to complete the task…
