We experienced a 26 hour outage that was caused from the moment we used the HostNine server migration feature in their Reseller Central control panel.

We decided to move our site to a new server located in Texas. After seeing our outage report for October, who can blame us?

I read their forums regarding migrating a HostNine reseller account from one location to another and followed all instructions. I made sure to leave the screen with the tiny flash animation showing my account was being moved. It finally showed everything was completed and that’s when the outage began.

Apparently what happened was the account was copied to a cpmove file on the old California server but was never transferred to my new home in Texas. I don’t doubt it because that California server had serious issues.

Anyway, I just got done with live chat and Nick fixed the problem for me.

I just hope I’ll see better performance out of this Texas server. Anything better than my old California server IP 64.62.137.225 is a good thing. I didn’t write down the node number I was on previously, but I do know the IP was 64.62.137.225.

The new node I am transferred to is Node19 in Texas. Let’s see how it goes. You’ll start seeing the new test results starting from November 25th forward. My November reports will be data from the old server mostly.
