Server move

Friday, August 26, 2011 by Per Ploug

On tuesday the 30th, we will migrate all our web sites to a new datacenter, on to new and faster servers and a faster connection. 

However, as part of this, we need to change DNS settings and IPs so during most of tuesday, depending on how fast your dns updates, umbraco.com and our.umbraco.org will either show a offline message, or redirect your to a temporary domain for that site when it's ready on its new location. 

We will do our best to keep downtime as low as possible, as we know how many people count on the help our community provides, as well as access to licenses and product files on umbraco.com

To all our Confidence support customers, our helpdesk will remain online and have personal ready to answer you questions as always.

    Why don't you just lower the TTL in the DNS to a minute, or less? Do it ~24 hours (or whatever the current TTL is) before the move, then no user, almost, will suffer...

    Are you guys moving off azure? If so, why?

  3. Gravatar ImagePeter Gregory Says:

    @Nate our main sites have never been on Azure. We still have some sites on the Azure platform.

    do you have to change name servers? couldn't you just point www records to IP addresses and have NO downtime at all?

    @Olov: We're working on it - unfortunately our DNS host lives in last century and we can't edit TTL ourselves

    @Bob: There will be downtime if DNS doesn't update as you can't post anything on the old Our when we start the migration (yes, with unlimited resources we could constantly re-sync the data - but hey, we don't have that :o))
