DNS/DOMAIN RELATED DOWNTIME
Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2014 12:49 am
Following the issues we had in July/August with the dns not working intermittently I am moving the dns to better servers because the person who registered the domain doesn't know that cheap-domainregistration.com doesn't into good domain provider.
What that means for you is that the tgstation13.org address MAY stop working intermittently during the transfer.
Coderbus.com has been re enabled as a backup. And if you need to connect to the game server while unable to access the site, replacing tgstation13.org with coderbus.com in the link byond://game.tgstation13.org:1337 or byond://game.tgstation13.org:2337 will do the trick, (making the link byond://game.coderbus.com:1337 and byond://game.coderbus.com:2337)
The transfer is currently underway and could take up to 3 weeks to complete, In theory everything should go seamlessly with no downtime, but if the old provider stops responding to domain lookup requests before the new provider is ready then anybody who's ISP is still seeing us as under the old provider will be unable to use the tgstation13.org address.
Update: google's public dns servers already have the proper records for tgstation13.org for those of you leet enough to use it.
