As you know, clraik has not been online for a day now. This is because our host placed us offline while I had to "fix" the site and make it faster.

I'm in the process of moving our site once my new server is ready. All posts and changed information on clraik will not carry forward, so please expect your postcounts to stay the same as they are from October 19th, 2014 until I move the entire site.

I will post an update when this is done. I'm just sick and tired of HostGator. :mad:

I couldn't believe how many times I checked to see if the site was back up and running. I didn't even get on neopets while it was down :(

You should either make this a banner under the main clraik banner and toolbar so that everyone can see it, or you should take about an hour or 2 to turn off this forum, backup the data, move it to the new one, and enable the new one. VPS to VPS transfers are incredibly fast. I get ~40MB/s between mine and my friend's. We use each other for backups.

I don't have the other server ready yet. Waiting on the new host.

When it's ready :P
Once you have the LEMP stack set up and configs copied over, you just have to copy the /var/[Only registered and activated users can see links][sitename] folder and export-import the database. Shouldn't take long at all. You can probably do it super fast with rsync instead of tgz'ing and then copying.

I don't know what you're spending a month on hosting but we have a private VPS with WiredTree and they are fantastic to deal with. We moved a lot of our business off of HostGator once they were acquired and we started to see serious downtime and poor support.

I am paid by Neopets to find cheaters on forums then go to their houses and arrest them for disrupting Neopets' online economy.

As mentioned in the first post, everything on the new host will have data from October 19, 2014 and before. Nothing that is happening now.

Depending on when the new server is ready, I might just use a new backup.

Please do. I just had a rush of support posts on my thread that I wouldn't want to lose since it could be helpful for people who have the same problems in the future.
I can help if you want.
