UPDATE: The server transition is complete! All services are now active again. If you happen to notice anything that doesn’t look correct or isn’t functioning properly, please send us a note. We appreciate your patience during this transition.

We’re almost done! Going on 25 hours, but we are now getting somewhere. Hopefully everything will be finished this evening. Currently we are easing the spiders back into motion and working on the alerts side of things.

How long will it last?

Not sure. This is the first major transition we have had to make since 2007. If we could have avoided the move, we would have, but the server we are currently running on is just too old and a bit lacking in the memory department. Increasing the memory footprint should allow our spiders to run much more efficiently while handling larger volumes of traffic and email deliveries more smoothly. (Fingers crossed.)

There will be a warning header on the old server. This header will exist on the old server throughout the transition. When this header is gone, you will know you are now on the new server.

What does this impact?

During the transition, we will lock down all account and registration capabilities. This will ensure that any changes made will be made on the correct server. It is best to just come back tomorrow if you need to make account changes or register with NowInStock.net after the aforementioned time.

Also, during this transition, you might see incorrect stock data on the site depending on which server you are currently viewing. We will try to minimize this as much as possible.

In the end, we just hope everything goes smoothly. (Hands interlocked.)
