I'm preparing to move FineTunedMac to a new server. This move will speed up the site considerably, and provide more bandwidth as we grow. In addition, the new server will have an SSL security certificate, so FineTunedMac will be accessible with https as well as http. This will increase security and prevent users from having their accounts hijacked if they log in from malicious unsecured WiFi hotspots. It will also improve FTM's Google search rankings.
I plan to do some long-overdue database maintenance during the move as well.
I plan to do the move on Wednesday, March 15. During the move, the site will be unavailable, probably for about two hours. During this time, you'll see a "site closed for maintenance" message if you try to log in or post new messages. I'll be moving the site late at night, to minimize disruption and downtime. Gods of fortune and databases willing, it should be finished by 3AM Pacific time Wednesday night/Thursday morning.
I'll keep everyone updated as the move gets closer.
