Server change - Site down

[Tony]

Just so you're aware at some time in the next short while the server will be down for about 30 minutes, we're moving to a new up to date server, I'm not sure if this will increase the speed of the site but it will definitely not struggle on the busy days

I should have enough notice to let everyone know and put a notice up, if not then you'll know why it's down.
Thanks

Half an hour!
The joys of virtualization. (Guessing here)
Used to be a traumatic experience moving servers. Good luck and hope it goes surprisingly easy.

Update

we're looking into the email system that's tightly integrated with some external systems and ht impact the move is going to have on them so it's being held up a little...

 

[Tony]
