New Server Move Complete

We’ve completed the move to the new server. The DNS is updating as I write, but we’re proxying any requests from the old server through to the new one, so you should all be looking at the new server now.
There was only a few minutes of downtime whilst we copied the database across, so hopefully you weren’t affected.
The new server is significantly faster than the old one, and has its hardware managed for us so we don’t need to take a trip to the rack if something breaks. Best of all, it’s mirrored on another server, so that if the whole server decides to check out we’ll be up and running again in a few minutes on a different server. All much shinier.
Big thanks to James Fidell our sys admin for such a smooth move.
