View source for Server move

'''Server move''' refers to moving part of the Hattrick servers to [[Switzerland]], which happened on 2006-11-13. Hattrick was taken offline during the league matches for several countries, forcing users in those countries to wait for two days to see the results of their matches.

Here is a status log which was displayed along with [[Hammo]] during the time when Hattrick was inaccesible for more than 24 hours.


2006-11-13 02:00: Maintenance

Hattrick is literally on the road. We are moving part of our server installation to a second data center in order to improve our availability in the future. We expect to be back online Tuesday at 17.00. If everything goes smoothly, Hattrick may come online earlier than that. But as it is impossible to know exactly how much time something like this takes, there is also a risk that it will take more time than planned. We will keep you updated regularly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
