So 50% of the domains are moved. Watch this.

Time required to move the first half (X) = (Y) The time remaining for the second part of the move = ETA

Sorry, I meant my nameserver domain. unix14.hsphere.cc is resolving normally, but unix14.mynameserverdomain.com is not. This has happened before, and none of my sites on the affected server was resolving then.

Looking at the time between the postings, it's 10% per hour, which means another 5 hours to go... Just wondering, are there ways to better prepare for situations like this, like having a backup disk ready?

You can't do an ETA based on the %, smaller files can take a LOT longer, you could have 100 small files that make 1MB or just 1MB file, the 1MB file will move a LOT faster then 100 small files. This is why we can't and don't give a ETA because its very hard to tell.

If everyone just had 100 50MB files we would be done but we are talking 1000's of small files so it takes a little more time.

That's why the E in ETA is "Estimated"

Yea but a lot of customer don't think about the E sometimes and then we starting really bad slack for saying 2 hours and it takes 4 hours. We are going as fast as we can, really can't make it faster then 1GB on the network.

...and for those of us who DO understand it?

[admin]

Lets do a HIDS ( Hope It's done soon ) and not "Estimated". I would hope it woul be done with in the next 2 hours. Sites that have been moved are already working, if your user name is V it will take some time since it goes from A-Z.

So a future strategy for the impatient (not calling names) would be to choose a username like AAA, right?

I don't think it's us that doesn't understand, it's our customers who 2 weeks ago I had to take away their IP address away and now they have been done for almost 12 hours. I know the 2 doesn't have anything to do with each other, it's just another nail in our coffin. End users who pay the bills don't really care why or how they just want it and they call us. BTW one of our domains that are down starts with a F and is still down. Guess those poor souls at the end of the alpha bit have got quite a wait ahead of them.

If the server is partially up why can I not ping it?
