Ready for our server move this weekend?

So, what can we expect in the way of outage?

Honestly not sure. Pretty much done configuring the new server. Just waiting for a couple other things to align and get organized. The forum will be closed 10min before we move. You'll see the forum closed sign until the DNS propagation is done and then you'll see it reopen and it will be on the new server.

Good luck, Greg! I'm sending happy, optimistic thoughts your way!

Can't DNS propagation take up to 72 hours? That's what I always told my clients to keep them off my back.

I think the majority propagated in two days though.

What is dns propagation?

It's what translates the "www.physicsforums.com" to the actual IP address such as 12.7.10.25. It's also for redirecting mail, etc...

I guess we're moving tonight?

I'm so nervous!
