We've been experiencing a few performance issues with our current dedicated server as of late, a little downtime, and long load times during peak hours. I've tried to optimize the site as best as possible throughout the past year, but we're starting to hit a wall with the existing setup. I ordered a couple of new dedicated servers earlier in the week, and they're currently being setup. I'll most likely be migrating the site next week to the new servers, so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. This topic will be updated as more information is known, along with exact dates, and when we'll be experiencing downtime.


  • Hardware Setup: Complete
  • Migrate Files: Complete
  • Migrate Database: Complete

(Sorry if this sounds dumb) Will it change the design of the current SG?

Nope, everything will remain exactly the same for now, although we're working on an updated design for the near future.

Everything will remain exactly the same, except the downtimes and slowdowns. ;)

Thanks for taking this initiative CG.
