Just a heads up on a new move
« on: February 23, 2023, 03:40:50 PM »
I have found a way to save WAGS 1/2 of the cost of the server.  When I get back from this business trip, I will download the backups that I made during this trip, then request the move with our host to a less expensive VPS from our dedicated server.  We will likely experience an outage of 24-48 hours as our DNS will change and that takes time to reroute through the internet. 

I will give 24 hours notice on this THREAD!!

Ok, I have tarballed all the urls and I will process the transfer from the dedicated server to the VPS tomorrow, March 2, 2023.  We have over 150GB of data compressed into backups!  WOW, so much data we have collected for our membership!!

As a result of this MOVE, the site will likely become unavailable for 24-48 hours as the DNS are moved and recognized on the WWW!

We were moved today to a new VPS server. Our host has been nice and has allowed our old server to remain  active until the new DNS kick in in 48 hours
