Switching servers isn't as easy as just swapping a hard drive, though I wish it was. After confirming all of the hardware specs, I have to fill out paperwork for both the activation of a new server and the cancellation of the old one. Data has to be sifted through, archived, and prepared for a quick transfer. Email and mailing lists have to be recreated, our many scripts have to be ported, and all the software on the new server has to be verified for compatibility with the content that's coming over. On top of that, I have to schedule time with our host's support team for DNS changes and to make sure they're available if anything goes wrong or the servers need to be physically rebooted, etc. That's a quick rundown, anyway
.
Right now, it's looking like it will be sometime next week. I'll post an announcement once everything is ready to go.
