vBulletin network site downtime
 

Due to increased traffic to vBulletin.com, vBulletin.org and the other sites hosted on this server, it has become necessary to move to a new and more powerful system.

We plan to perform this move tomorrow (Sunday October 15th) and while this will involve some down-time for the sites, we will attempt to keep this to a minimum as much as possible.

Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience you may encounter, we are sure it will all be worth it in the end

.......Details.

Any word about the system specs? :)

i never thought it was a great idea to keep both of these sites on the same server. someone should seriously reconsider.

Guess it was doing good till more people moving to vBulletin from phpbb, ipb, SMF, ikonboard, punbb, etc...

Hopefully it won't be down for a long time if it happens.

Moving all of vB.com AND vB.org , ehh Im gussing 2-4 Hours
But jelsoft people do work fast..

What are the new server specs ??

Yeah I'd like to know that as well. :D

Sorry but i can not disclose the server specifications. But it will be a more flexible and fault tolerant setup.

Also it is not only vb.com and vb.org, but all jelsoft controlled servers that will be moved. Some of the functions have already been moved in the past couple of weeks.

Estimated downtime?

Unknown, but as I understand it, a "holding" page will be in place, the sites shouldn't just go off air completely.
