It took much longer than I had hoped, but HyperScale’s brand new servers are now fully operational. The site winked off the air shortly after I loaded the 5 December update, so I will leave this in place until tomorrow to give everyone a chance to catch up. I do apologise for the outages and lack of updates over the last few days but hopefully these new servers will be more reliable than the old boxes which were pretty much at the end of their useful lives. This was the first and only hardware change since moving to dedicated servers seven years ago, and I am not planning on any more major technical changes in the near future (although I still have to move about 20 domain names, including Missing-Lynx, to the new servers in the coming days).
