server Autoshite server maintenance this evening 5:30pm (brief outage) - ALL DONE

[SiC]

I have a quick bit of maintenance to do to the server that should reduce our hosting costs by a fair bit. Essentially moving down a few server grades to something more economical that won't affect the performance of the site. 

To do this, I will need to take the site offline for about 5 to 10 minutes (possibly even quicker). By the magic of modern hosting it should be a simple poke around switcheroo deal. It was quick and painless when I tested it on a test site, but of course things don't always go that easily! So may take a bit longer if things don't go to plan. I'll probably also slap a few non-urgent Operating System updates on while I'm there as well.

I expect to start at 5:30pm on the dot - providing my day job work doesn't over run.

Its not an urgent change but should hopefully save the forum accounts around £40 a month in hosting costs by doing this. I've left this thread unlocked in case someone is about to do an exciting collection late afternoon/early evening and I can postpone the update.

May the force be with you, SiC

I mis-read the title as Brief Outrage! Thanks for your efforts, hope it doesn't take much of your time, and that you have a supply of Brave pills!

All done, thanks.
