During the week Origin will be moving to a new server. The server will be shared with Des08tor (CNC Guild) and Renegade (Total Destruction). This server will give us alot more resources to work with.


For Hosted Sites:
Unless your site has a flaw (no network bar, no button, no banner) your site will be moved by an admin.
During the move any news posting scripts you have may not work (because the /path/ will change). Please make a simple HTML information page saying your site will be down. Your forum will still work fine, so the information age could link to your forum.
You will need a new FTP settings for the new server. There will be a topic made about new FTP settings after the move.

I'm making backups as of right now with of all sites. They should be completed to move by the correct day. If you make further changes after today, you are responsible for backing them up, and reuploading them after your site is reestablished. I cannot make a new backup daily, it usually takes a day or two to complete.

Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.

to mastermind: I'm all ready, I sent you the stuff for the ftp... I plan to make a news post about changing servers, but if you have already started making a backup don't worry about it, I plan to make a news post about being at the server when I'm fully moved...

As for the HTML page, would you like it to be index.html? and just say that C&C Central will be down until server move is complete?

also, with the 20 gigs file space, will that mean we shall all get more space... I'd be able to mirror more mods that way...

I've got the backup completed now, so your site should be completely ready for transfer. I'm still working on all the other sites.

the_kid, Best to make 1 news post about the move now, then once the move is finished you will notice, as the news post wnt be there anymore (you will see masterminds version which will not have the news post you make now).

We currently have 2gigs, soon we will have 20gig for files. You can upload alot more stuff. ES3 can have all the old ES1,2 files. ambershee can have space for all his mods. Loads of space^.

That's quite an improvement over the current server then :p.
I *must* obtain myself a webmaster to maintain a website over here in future, alternatively I could just do it myself :) .

Good luck with the move, hope all goes smoothly :)

All backups are now complete, with everything downloaded as of right now. The only site I have not backed up is TFH, because my FTP access there is not valid.

Yeah, the move is on hold until I get back on Tuesday. And yes, all FTP accounts are disabled, so that I have a current backup of everything.
