Server Upgrade Completed

28 Jul 2024

**Update 5th September 2024**

A further server migration was completed today. Although the previous server worked fine their were some performance aspects that we were not happy with so it was decided that another change was best.

The transition took place today at around 10.45 UTC with approximately 10 minutes of downtime. There was also a short period when emails did not sent. We are now running on the new server and the IP address of remains the same as before.

**Update 1st August 2024**

The upgrade to the new main server completed successfully, beginning on Monday morning a little later than expected at around 10am UTC.

The transition was smooth with just a few minutes of downtime and we are now running on the new server. Note the IP address of the new server remains the same as before.

A big thank you to everyone who has signed-up recently and especially to our Pro users who keep the lights on - we really appreciate it!

An upgrade of Downtime Monkey's main server is scheduled to take place on Monday 29th July at approximately 9am UTC. The old server has served us well, but has now become a little long in the tooth, so we will be migrating to a new server.

There will be a short period (of approximately 15 minutes) when the website may be offline while the migration takes place. We hate downtime but in this situation it's unavoidable.

The good news is that all Downtime Monkey customers will enjoy the benefits of the updated server in the years to come.

Thanks again and looking forward to updating this post from the shiny new server!
