Hello,
I've finally started moving the site to a new server: from a high-capacity, but heavily loaded server
in Germany (220+ sites (!)) to a fairly high spec VPS in Buffalo (New York), running 1 (one) site and 1 site only
The site suspension this afternoon (CET) for about 1.5 hours was for the database interactions to end:
I wanted (mostly) everyone who had started a puzzle to be able to submit a solution.
After that the database server was switched to Buffalo, and a little bit later the site itself.
Because it takes a while for the various DNS servers to start pointing to the new server,
you may encounter the situation where the site is loaded from Germany, but the puzzle/account/etc. data
from the US, which leads to poor performance. All should clear up in the next few hours.
You'll most likely have to log out and log back in again once.
Feedback (especially positive
) is welcome..
Patrick
