bmck 117 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hello everyone, Over the last few weeks (and arguably, months) the website has been becoming increasingly slow. It's now insufferable. It's really just because the site is now really very busy, and server intensive because of the vbulletin software with addons to give a good service, as well as the other content management systems running across the sites I host, and the current server simply isn't up to it. I've been away finishing this degree and doing lots of working so I'm only having a chance to look at it now. To cut a long story short, all the websites I host are being moved to a new, upgraded, infintely higher spec, server. This should solve all the problems, but, as with any migration, there may be some issues. It's going to be undertaken during the night, so hopefully it will cause minimal down time. Check facebook or twitter, or PM me your address if you hate such things and I'll keep you uptodate in case of things taking longer than planned. Sorry I haven't dealt with this sooner. It really hadn't occurred to me that we might simply outgrow the server, and I've been checking things like database and vbulletin configuration trying to find a fix. Thanks, Barry 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmck 117 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yeah, it goes through fits and starts where it's not too bad, but overall performance has been poor for a while. There was a specific database service problem around lunchtime today and it was fixed pretty quickly, but general performance just isn't that good now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,150 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Looks like most of the hard work is done. Obviously we're missing some functionality but that will be available in due course. Many thanks to bmck! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
