Thread: BCG down?

hi guys, whats up with blackcats-games.net? why are they down?



greets

They have been down for like a week, moving to new servers or something like that

ooh good. but did they say officially they come back?

thanks

I don't think they gave an ETA.. and their IRC server seems to be down also.

p.s actually they did lol

Our hosts are moving datacenters just after the new year, so they are taking all the servers with them, the planned move is going to start 2nd January 2012 and is expected to be completed by the 5th-6th Jan 2012.

Now we do not expect to be down that long, as they are planning replication and other fancy stuff with our servers (too much to go into here), but at the very best, we will have a new IP and there will be a couple of hours downtime and DNS issues for a couple of days.

So if we go down between the 2nd Jan and the 6th Jan you know why, we will be back up, but how long we will be down for I have no idea, but hopefully if everything goes as planned, it will not be 3-4 days, it will just be a matter of a few hours max (we hope).

I have said it before, but to check if a site is down you should use this site, because it give you a pretty accurate result:
Down For Everyone Or Just Me -> Check if your website is down or up?
IsUp.Me -> Check if your website is down or up?

You can also type !isup example.com in our T-I Main IRC channel.

ops already posted the reason for their downtime.

So much for few hours max... D:

Hopefully they'd come back with a global freeleech

Global freelech would be nice ;D

Shouldnt take long now hopefully
