So now we moved server, but not to the "real" new server. I moved us to this cheapy temporary one because the real one I want isn't available yet, and there was starting to be problems with the shared hosting I was on, so I rushed us out of there.
The shared hosting might be closing down at the end of the month, if not sooner, because of legal problems it has with about 80% of its clients using it to host illegal stuff (it can either stay open and get sued or kick out all those bad clients and stop being profitable). So now we're free of that nonsense.
Only problem now is this server sucks. I have to restart it every day or so. So I'm hoping that either today or sometime during the coming week the good server will be ready.
The good news is the move shouldn't be long this time, since technically they can just move or clone the hard drive into the good server and then it should be good to go. That means Nation will only be down for as long as it takes to physically move the hard drive, and I should be keeping the same IP addresses so no DNS nonsense like for the first move.
It's a 100Mbit dedicated server with specs way better than needed for a basic web server, that means Nation will have tons of room to grow and we can take on new projects like wikis and that type of stuff.

The server is actually ready right now DX
They just emailed me about it. I'm going to configure some things and then give them the O.K to try and move it.
If it works out fine then we'll be up soon, if not I'll have to configure it all from a clean install and then move in the backups so it might take a while. There's no real reason for it not to work though, this is linux, not windows.

I find Nation still loads only averagely fast, but that's probably because of vbulletin's large page sizes and javascripts.
My other websites that don't whore javascript load ridiculously fast.

That's to be expected for lots of people, the DNS things were forced to change again. They moved me to a new LAN so I could get the 100Mbit service or something like that, that means new IP addresses. It seems to have updated fast for some people this time though D:

"The target server does not respond timely" <--That normal, too?

yeah, if he pings it it's probably going to the old IP.
