    Upcoming Hosting Changes

    We are currently in the process of migrating the primary sites off our server and to a professional shared hosting environment.

    Current usage of the server does not justify the price required to host it, and with limited time to maintain and manage the server, we have decided to discontinue it.

    We have chosen Bluehost for our host. I will be migrating all of my personal sites first, then the primary GameHavoc sites. Once this is done, I will begin migrating the user sites.

    I don't know or remember any of your passwords, so as I setup new FTP accounts I will forward you the new login information. I will try to correct any issues with the sites as I move them, such as PHP configurations that contain absolute paths.

    I do not have as much control over domains and vhosts as I previously did. If you are controlling your own domain, we may have to do a little work to get everything working. I will ensure that all subdomains function under gamehavoc.com, but I may run into trouble ensuring that your own personal domain works right. This may be resolved via redirecting but we'll have to work on it.

    This shouldn't be a big hassle for too many people since over half the sites are still disabled for not responding to my previous post concerning PHP upgrades.

    Please private message me any concerns about your files, MySQL database, or domain, or if you have a particular date you would prefer your site to be moved.

    Additionally, if you actually use your email account, you should consider downloading all your mail with POP3. I'll see if I can move existing mail, but I'm not sure its possible. I will backup the mail and if necessary see about making it available later for those who missed it.

    I will be providing email with the new host if you want it, with both POP3 methods and webmail: <username>@gamehavoc.com

    Re: Upcoming Hosting Changes

    I have decided not to migrate user.gamehavoc.com user sites, as the three most actively used user sites were responsible for multiple repeated server break-ins due to out of date PHP software.

    Please make sure to make backups and migrate your files. If you need assistance getting a dump of your database, let me know. Sometime in the next month or two I will move the gamehavoc domain off this server, and then pull the server from the data center. I will make the server available from home if you need files after that.

    In progress.

    forumhavoc.com should mostly work as the DNS for gamehavoc.com shifts to the new host.

    If you STILL have things you need to get off the old server, use the hostname slinky.thisspacereserved.com to get there.

    Host name is no longer valid. You can use the IP 216.130.156.11 to get to FTP though.

    I'll be taking the server offline THIS WEEKEND. Arrangements to retrieve data beyond that will be whenever I get around to it. (Edit: I.e. you better get it now because I'm really ****ing lazy, as indicated by it taking me 8 months to cancel the damn thing since I originally announced it.)

    I believe there is a zip file in your root folder. If you recall, I shutdown and deleted your site after I found two shell exploits installed on your site.
