We are currently preparing to move to another server, this means there will be another downtime coming up. If there are no problems and the move will require only minimal changes, HLP should be open in two days after it has been closed. Domain name (hard-light.net) will not change.
After we have completed moving all files and databases to the new server as well as tested that everything is functional, Sandwich will change hard-light.net to direct to our new server instead of our current server. It will usually take 48 hours for a new DNS take take effect, but the actual time varies between internet service providers, some will get the new DNS sooner or later than others.
If we encounter problems and the move cannot be completed for some reason, nothing will change and HLP will return as you left it. In this case the only loss has been the downtime.
We are advising hosted projects not to update their ftp contents at this time. We rather not disable hosted project ftp accounts, because we would have to assign new passwords for each account, which we would like to avoid in a case the move cannot be completed.
We apologize for any inconvenience the upcoming downtime may cause.
