Scheduled Server Migration Nov 23 (Sunday) @ 3:00am EST |
03:11 PM by Alexander Turcic in Miscellaneous | Announcements Ladies and Gentlemen, MobileRead will be offline for server migration work this coming Sunday at 3:00am EST for approximately one to two hours. We'll be moving our equipment to a new location somewhere scenic very close to New York City. That's right, au revoir Canada, you served us well in the past. Yet time has come to embrace new opportunities with more competitive and better hosting options. In preparation, we've lowered the time-to-live values of our DNS entries to a minimum, hoping for the best that your local ISP will quickly pick up our new IP address. Until then... keep calm and fingers crossed! Yours faithfully,
