Web-Hosting – Server Migration
It isn’t a particularly exciting job, but Fairies World and many of the sites owned by Fairies World has outgrown its current web-hosting arrangements so over the coming months I shall be moving them lock-stock and barrel onto a new dedicated server.
The success of Fairies World means that the current servers could no longer cope with the huge bandwidth requirements of the site so such a move was unavoidable and although the transfers will be a little time consuming they have come about for positive reasons as far as the website is concerned. Some of the transfers are a little more complicated than others simply because the site have several databases associated with them and some of the scripts need a bit of reconfiguring to work on the new servers, but we aren’t expecting any downtime, except occasionally as the nameserver setting change over.
As I said, it isn’t exciting, or even a particularly challenging project for me, but it does take a certain amount of attention to detail and meticulous planning and will keep me busy for a while.
