> ATTENTION!  ATTENTION!  ATTENTION!
>
> Synopsis:
> The list needs to be migrated to a different server.  There will
> be a
> short outage as the DNS change propagates.  The move will be
> targeted
> for well before Natsu.  Users will not have to do anything at all
> for
> this migration.
>
> Details:
> The current WebTrek server is being co-located as a friends site.
>  He
> has been letting me skate there for years for free.  But now he
> is
> moving his circuit around and can not carry me anymore.  After
> looking
> into all options I found the alternatives -
>
> 1) Move to a hosting company (cost about $20 a month)
> 2) Co-locate the server at another site (cost between $150 and
> $350 a month)
> 3) Get a circuit into the house (cost approximately $800 a month)
>
> The option with the greatest flexibility and stability is the
> last one
> but obviously beyond means.  So a hosting company it is.
>
> They use the same software that we're already using so migration
> will
> be very simple.  The only thing that will have an impact is that
> the
> list will be unavailable during the time the name service
> propagation.
>  This will be anywhere between a few minutes to a few hours,
> (though,
> as Kofuji can attest, there's no predicting what will happen on
> the
> Internet).  There will also be ample warning announcements
> preceding
> the migration.
>
> If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.  And
> apologies for the pending inconvenience.
