Migrating to a new server, expect some hiccups this weekend


PhotoRumors and all sister sites will be migrating to a new server this weekend (starting at 10 pm tonight EST). With the increased traffic and a large number of posts (almost 12,000 posts. 33,000 photos and over 120,00 comments), it is time to move to a server with a new generation of processors. In theory, the migration should be seamless – we will be using live migration technology that promises no downtime – it will just require a reboot (a downtime of about two to three minutes). Let’s hope that will be all.
