For me, this hasn't been the only problem I've had while at AHP, although by far the worst. But in the few months I've been here, I've had a fair amount of other downtime, so just not willing to wait and see if it's going to happen again. Also, if you see the reviews on forta.com, there's one from a customer about a year ago that was down for a whole week. So I just don't have confidence that this is an isolated incident. >I guess I could always get a cheap shared solution to turn to in case >of an emergency.

Yes, the only tricky part is data concurrency when you are doing this. At least with my software, it's pretty easy to tweak a couple lines of code so you can prevent it from taking orders on either site if you are in the process of migrating the database over from one to the other. >And, btw, Mary Jo, would you mind telling us what host you decided to >move to? I decided for the time being to share a dedicated box with a friend over at Crystaltech. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299804 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
