June 20, 2001 - Network Downtime

San Diego, CA - Due to constraints of our internet provider, the Adswap network was forced to move it's server late Wednesday evening to a new location. This was a big deal and took the efforts of several individuals to coordinate the shipping and hooking up of the equipment in the new location in Los Angeles. While the equipment was in transport Network Solutions changed over the DNS settings to allow the internet to find the server when it was hooked up Wednesday. Everything was fully functional this time as soon as we brought the box back up. 

It's a relief to finally have control over it and hopefully this is the last move for a very long time. The company we decided to go with has multiple redundant access points along with plenty of battery and Generator power in the event the California starts getting rolling blackouts again. The total downtime for this move was 24 hours.

We apologize to everyone, we did not have an opportunity to let you know that this was going to happen. We decided at the last minute to do it because the the host in South Carolina had connectivity problems and that makes any of the pages with our Network code look bad, along with ourselves.

Please let us know if you are having any problems with the equipment or software since the move. We noticed that the menuing is gone from most of the main pages (outside of ADCenter2000) we are rebuilding those ASAP.

Thank you.
