Well,
It is finally Done! I just got off the phone with John and its official. We are now on new servers and this should facilitate our growth for some time. It is in the plan that TCA will have to move to a whole new level later as we approach the 10 million expected members this year. For now, we should be smooth to go!
John said it did not go as smooth as anticipated. On the first round of backups some of the tables were corrupted and it took some time to repair and get things back up. It was such an interruption that time was ticking and it was decided to roll back to fall back to original servers and give it another go at another time. Started the process again around 1 am Monday morning and things were done by 11 am Monday. DNS should make the full propagation over the next 24-48 hours. All in all, things seem to be very good now.
We apologize for the down time and it was a very necessary things as our server was beginning to bulge! We'll be testing our new mail capacity out too.
Thank you Jay and Geramy for the incredible extra hours and expertise.
Now we can begin our campaign at the scale we intended!
All the best to everyone,
Mark.
