Ok...this story is getting pretty old: but I know I need to tell it. A couple of days ago, I went online and did a back up of our databases for both the site and forum. A few hours later...neither site would display. I shot over a message to my tech guy (even though I knew he was out sick). His responce was that he thought that because we were changing over the domain name to my new hosting account: that might be the reason for the site going down.
I'm not that knowledgeable about such things...but it just didn't seem to make any sense to me. So today, I called my hosting company to see if I could find out what was going on. Basically, what I was told: was that they had to do a refresh on the file(s) that told the internet where to look for my site (DNS). He said that it normally would take between 24-48 hours for this to get completed; but because we already had everything else set up: it should take somewhere between 2-24 hours.
Ok...so this was at a little after 10am today. So if all goes well, we should get the site back up and running between 12pm today; and 10am tomorrow. I have also been advised by my tech support guy that his apprentice has done some work on the site (script); and has cleaned things up a bit. I am, as I hope you are as well: really looking forward to seeing the site now.
