Zeel, I wouldn't trust you to watch over anything if your blink takes 20 hours :-P

But yeah, it took a looooooooooooooong while but it's finally up.
Hopefully, everything should be running smoothly - even more so than before, given we're on a more powerful machine.

But don't forget that was only part 1 of the move :awesome:

A more powerful machine, you say? Why does it feel slower, to me? :XD:

Also, what's part 2? :P

I'm curious as well, how is the server move not finished when the site is back up?

Maybe it takes some time. Perhaps it just isn't so good at hitting the ground running. :awesome:

Yeah. It'll just be on my end. ;)

Anyway, what's this surprise that you keep hinting at, Unas?

Meph, do you ever read / remember what is said ? :-P

The second step, which should hopefully happen in the next 2 weeks, will consist of isolating AAO in its own virtual machine, under my full control and with its own IP address.

So does that mean it'll have it's own domain name or will it still have the "sparklin.org" bit?

Well, it means I'll be able to decide that. If I want my own domain name, I'll be able to set it myself.

However, I'm not sure I will change it, since AAO has already become well known under this address :-)

I think I'd keep it. Dunno why, but I like 'sparklin'. Maybe 'cause it seems unique. This is the only site I know that uses that.

Of course, the sparklin.org domain belongs to a friend of mine - the same who is hosting AAO ^^'
So there are not many sites depending on it :-P

Oh, so that's why I couldn't get on this. I keep forgetting to read the announcements, so I didn't expect this.

No.

Or to put it another way: When I'm driving, I can't remember what gear I'm on. :P

Personally, I think you should use your own domain name. ;) But if you do, I don't think you should use aceattorney-online.fr, because the top-level domain suggests that the site is exclusively French. :XD: I think you should get aceattorneyonline.org, because it has a much more international appeal. :)

Actually, I can't use the aceattorney-online.fr one anyway. It's part of a free hosting package that I got last year, but isn't configurable independently.

But as I said, I think I'll stick to sparklin.org anyway, as long as my friend is fine with that :)
