Site outage

[Barrie Heaton]

Our Web providers got hacked again that's 3 times this month The UK Piano Page has been going since 1996 and we have been hacked 6 times one was an exploit on the forum the rest have been our providers

So we are looking to move in the new year we will also look at doing a site makeover

On Friday OR ISP got hacked and At 5:30 this morning our ISP got hacked again 5 times this month

We have now got space on a V-dedicated sever on a new provider but it will take time to move us over

Will that lead to taking the forum and website offline for a period of time?

[Barrie Heaton]

We are using one of our old domains to set it all up once each section is done will do an auto direct for that section the forum is more likely to be the first as that is the easiest as there is no licence involved

it just a matter of uploading the forum database to the new site and point all to the new site just like we did when me moved here 4 years ago it was down for a few hours.

The ISP we are on now will still run for 6 months in the background

Small outage to day to move the site across to the new server and domain

the new domain is www.piano-tuners.org the old one will redirect
the forum should be faster
