The DHBC website and forum is moving to a new ISP on Monday 8th March 2010. The entire site will be unavailable between 12:00 and 18:00 on that day.

Thanks for the warning and good luck with the move. No bugs!
BTW, does this move involves a new host? If so, then the DNS propagation will likely be delayed for a day or two. Would this be a realistic scenario?

Yes we are going to a new host - I'll try to get accurate information and post back here but you're probably right - I wouldn't expect more than 24 hours though and as the new servers are actually in Sydney then we should expect local DNS updates to be first.

DNS propagation is way faster than it used to be - I'll be surprised if it takes more than 24 hours. I had one happen in 5 mins last week.

The site move went well and DNS propagation updated within about 10 minutes, after I worked out that I had to do it with our old domain name registrar, not our new one.
The forum seems to load way faster for me now but the website is about the same. Comments?
FYI:
Server IP: 112.140.180.60
Server Name: SH2NODE2.SYD
Name Servers:
ns1.ventraip.net.au - 112.140.176.10
ns2.ventraip.net.au - 112.140.180.10
ns3.ventraip.net.au - 67.23.5.45

the site is humming and is notably faster in all areas of operations from where I sit.
Kudos to Stuart, IT Deity of DHBC.
(You could consider doing this for a living, mate ...)

Interesting. I received an email notifying me of a new PM but when I checked, there's nothing. So...

c:\ipconfig /flushdns
As for getting PM's - could have also been in the "old" forum - I'm working on getting the old site shut down or some re-direct code added.

Were you able to freeze the old forum before the transfer?

Forum is 10x quicker to load up than previously.

Umm nope - just transferred it and left the old one there and hoped that DNS update would fix it all. I should have thought of all these things but a few lost posts is not too bad a thing.

Yes, it all went surprisingly well compared to some other host transfers I've seen. Good one!

OK - Logged a support call with previous ISP today to shut-down the old website. Should be gone in a couple of days

clearly it went very well. I never noticed and only knew when I read this thread.
as for the mac is seems to depend on which version of the os you are using. 10.5 is dscacheutil -flushcache.

Enter the following in Terminal windows of Mac OS X 10.5/10.6.
Code: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

Thanks for that Yewenyi and Weiyun. I had posted a couple of items from my son's new Mac.
