5 Star Affiliate Programs

The forum is so busy sometimes it just brings our new server to it's knees. We just moved to a dedicated VPS in January but are running out of memory so you may have noticed some down time and time-outs.

So moving to a HUGE new dedicated server with 4Xs the memory, since the forum is getting so big and busy. The move is planned for Friday or Saturday.

There SHOULD be no problems, BUT if you have any important PMs you want to save - you should download them just in case.

There could be about 20 minutes when the forum is down as the database gets moved. Not sure when that will be exactly but you will get a message saying the forum is temporarily closed.

Also there could possible be DNS issues and people in some parts of the world may not be able to get to 5 Star for a short period of time.

COULD BE THERE IS NO DOWNTIME or DNS lag at all
but thought it better to alert you in advance, just in case.

Wow! I know that's a pain, but all it means is that 5 Star is growing!
Great job Linda!

Kuddo on the new digs!

The server move is scheduled for this AM.
Madly preparing right now.

Fingers crossed for a smooth move
and a faster server with 99.9% uptime!

Move complete BUT there has been a little DNS lag in certain parts of the world.
If you can't access forum, try rebooting to flush your DNS.

Still problems with blog. Should be fixed soon.

So Sorry for the downtime.

The NEW server had a hard drive crash and they had to move me to yet ANOTHER new sever.

Hope everyone that's been trying to get on the board comes back and joins us again.

It's too bad you were having technical difficulties with your host. I'm happy to see 5 Star is back up and running

Thanks so much Brian. Still dealing with other problems like email and getting certain scripts working right but at least the site and forum are back up.
