Urgent migration - bespin3.simpleservers.co.uk Friday 20th March 2020 13:00:00


The shared server - bespin3.simpleservers.co.uk has been showing a fault, which resulted in some downtime recently. The server is now back online, but we consider the server hardware to be at risk. As a result, we deployed a new replacement server and copied all the accounts to the new hardware. The final sync is happening at 1:30 PM. The expected downtime is 2hours.

At 1:30 PM, we’ll turn off services on the old server, and do final sync of files and databases to the new server. The IP address of the old server will then be assigned to the new one so customers won’t have to make any changes to their installation, plugins or DNS. Please accept our apologies for any difficulty cause by this issue. We'll keep updated on the progress.

2020-03-20 13:35PM - Webserver has been turned off. Final sync started.

2020-03-20 16:10PM -Migration complete. Sites are back online.
