ThreadsAddons.com: host.threadshosting.com Server Upgrade

OK - we've tracked the slowness issues on the host.threadshosting.com server to an impending hardware issue.

Rather than planning any downtime for hardware replacement, in the next day or so, I'll be transfering all accounts on that server to a new box. Seems easier than having to schedule any downtime for repair. This should eliminate the slowdowns we've been experiencing from tim eto time with server load.

Currently that server runs RedHat 9, for which there will be no support from RedHat after April. The new box will be RedHat Enterprise Linux. This was a change I'd planned on making in the next few months anyway to move to thier Enterprise edition... I'm just accelerating the plans due to hardware slowdowns.

I apologize for the inconvience.

Hopefully my new server will be online and all setup later today. Then I'll contact each of you when I'm ready to move the site. Since it's a local move, it won't be anything that you'll really notice on your end. Most likely I'll just close the forum for a short bit while I copy it to the other server, and update the DNS on my end. No action should be necessary on your part, and other than a brief closure while I copy from one server to the other, no real downtime.

This should correct the issue and get everyone operating at fast speeds again.

I will update you here when I know more.
