Mysidia will move to a different Webhost soon

[Hall of Famer]

Hello everyone, I am announcing that Mysidia will move from the current webhost to a new webhost. We have been with the current webhost for a few years. It started very well and reliable, but recently their support department has gone downhill. Some of you may still remember the mayhem from last summer when they mistakenly assigned my server to a new client of theirs. This resulted in 5 days of downtime and loss of data/files for some of you. The new webhost will be a lot better and more stable/professional, we should have little to no downtime after migration.

During the migration period, you will still be able to access Mysidia most of the time. However, this is not guaranteed, and from time to time you may see inconsistency with the threads/posts available on this forum. This is due to DNS propagation, and should be quickly resolved anyway. Once server migration is completed, I will notify all of you. Incase you have trouble visiting Mysidia by then, clear your browser cache and everything should be fine.

The migration will begin at sometime between this weekend to early next week. I will keep you updated regarding Mysidia's status. I will backup all your files/databases before migration starts, so you will have nothing to worry about.

Nice to see an elevation to mysidia's webhosting services.

Update: Server Migration is completed, all Mysidia sites are functioning properly except for MysidiaHost. I am trying to figure out the source of this problem right now, but if you already own a Mysidia Adoptables site on MysidiaHost, your site should be unaffected by this problem.

My site has a Internal server 500 error... is that what you mean?

"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@atrocity.mysidiahost.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Well this is not what I meant, it was unexpected. I will contact with the webhost and see what goes wrong with your website. It does seem that your site receives 500 errors every now and then ever since server migration, and it happens almost exclusively to your site(the other mysidia hosted sites are unaffected). I will see if there is a reason behind the phenomenon.

Edit: Your site should be working now. Apparently it has a different .htaccess file compared with other Mysidia adoptables sites hosted on MysidiaHost. I have no idea why this happens for you, did you or your coder modify this file before?

Holy cow this is the first time I've been able to access this site in months! Did something go wrong with the migration?
