Downtime for awhile

07/25/08 1:39 am | #1

Xbox America, GamercardCreator and GamertagCreator are going to be going offline sometime. Unfortunately, I don't know very much right now.

Either the downtime will occur in the next couple days (as soon as this afternoon (7/25)), or it'll occur around August 4th.

I will try my best to keep you all updated as I learn more.

It will differ for different people. It can take awhile for the nameserver changes to propagate. Some people will only experience problems for 5 minutes. There's a slight chance it could be up to 48 hours for other people. Usually it's much less than though.

I'll know more in the next few hours.

So why exactly are you going down?...I'm just curious, I may have overlooked it already if you have mentioned it.

Xbox America is out growing it's current shared hosting setup. We're moving to a virtual private server.

I estimate that the downtime will start around midnight tonight. For many, the site should be back up extremely quickly.

If boobie is doing what i think, it may help those that may have problems to clear out your cookies. The delay is mainly caused not by the move, but by markers pointing to the old sites address. Among other things.

Yeah, I've run into some hiccups. Hopefully we'll be going offline in about 30 minutes.
