I'm going to be moving a fairly high-traffic site to a new hosting company in a few weeks, and I'm starting to plan out the tasks that need to be done.
How do you guys handle the transition period while the domain is delegating, which can be up to 4 days? For this period, both sites will be active, depending on the status of the dns servers the users are connected to. So how do you look after this situation? Do you put a "we're moving so be patient and come back in a few days" message? or do you keep both databases in synch, doing price, product and inventory maintenance on both sites? Do you set up scripts to keep both databases synchronised? What do you do? (I've never had to deal with this issue before - in the past whenever we've moved hosts, we've been able to live with different versions of the sites and/or holding all updates for the transition period. But in this case business has to continue and there will be inventory and pricing changes during the transition, no matter what days it's done) -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:280205 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
