Server moved! - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Just to let you know I had to take TW down for an hour tonight - we were already being hit by a DDoS again, but last week I ordered a new server with a company specialising in DDoS protection.

I had tried to move to the new server last week, but was all a complete cock-up, so got a sys admin friend in tonight to help ensure the move ran a lot more smoothly.

Anyway, TW remains under attack, but hopefully we're in a much more secure position to withstand them, and stay online against most of what can be thrown at us.

Even if we can't, I am not paying extortion money, but hopefully the new hosting provider will be able to keep us online much more reliably from now.

Also, I've tried to ensure there are no bugs, but there may be a couple of issues I've missed, so any bug reports, please post them here and I'll get them fixed ASAP.
