UPDATE: We have now successfully transferred away from our old host to a new one! If you're seeing this message then you're viewing the site in its new location! Sorry for the downtime! More information... (http://www.noobscraft.com/site/moving-web-hosts/msg80300/#msg80300)
As explained a few days ago we've decided it is time to transfer our site to a new machine and company. This change will hopefully allow us to expand even more and should make the site even faster and reduce the chance of getting downtime.
Tomorrow (1st September) from around 12pm (BST) we will begin to transfer the content of the site to our new host, to ensure that we don't duplicate information on the existing host and the new one we will be taking the site offline during this transition. This downtime is likely to last at least a few hours as we have millions of database records to move over!
Once we successfully transfer over the content from our existing host to the new one we will then change where the "noobscraft.com" domain points to, this change can take up to 48 hours to occur locally on your own computers so just be warned that you might be unable to access the site during all of this time.
You'll be able to keep updated about it all on our Twitter account @Noobstown (http://twitter.com/noobstown).
Once we're all up and running again on the new host I'll be sure to post an update about it again! Thanks, and sorry for the disruption. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them and I'll try and answer them as soon as possible!
During the site downtime there should be no disruption to the server, continue to connect to that using the normal 'noobstown.com' IP! We're not moving the server itself, only the site!
