Because I've now got a brand new server in the states, I'm going to be moving this website across to it. You shouldn't really see any problems with access however there are a few of you who may encounter a few irregularities while the DNS records update across the world.
Here's what you might experience (this is all very dependent on which ISP you use to connect to the internet and how fast they update their name server records):
1. It may look like the website hasn't been updated for about 48hrs. This will be caused by your ISP thinking that the latest version of the website is somewhere where it isn't - this may take 48hrs or so to remedy; it's all down to when your ISP's name servers are updated to point to the new server.
2. Email users may have problems receiving mail for a couple of days as well. Incoming mail will be queued on the server for delivery though so you will not lose any email.
All the streams will however still be accessible without any problems at all.
Any questions, let me know - the name servers are going to be made live at about midnight sunday (the night of sunday -> monday) so it should all be settled by wednesday.
Cheers
