The site has been running really slow lately. Its popularity is not helping 🙂 The hosting facility will be moving everything to a server with 3 times the horse power. No migration will be needed on my part. it should be straight forward except for the hour or so of downtime.

This should happen between today and tomorrow sometime.
 
you mean like the new mp with 6 new leica lenses that sold here today for $25.00 (Canadian) with free shipping ?

If so, you probably missed it during a page refresh 🙁

What version of MySQL are they running? That and the way it was compiled could save lots of pain. But that's obviously out of your hands; just wondering if it's something that could be asked of the hosting guys.

Good for you that you don't have to do it yourself this time, Jorge! Pots of coffee followed with pots of calming tea; not fun.
 
Good luck! When I move my website to another server I almost always multiply my estimated time by 8 or 16 so I really know how much it is really gonna take. Last time I estimated 30 minutes -> it took 8 hours because my new server´s settings were a bit too tight and my forum didn´t render it´s pages properly... Of course I reinstalled and reinstalled for many times until I realised the problem wasn´t in corrupted database or data but the server side.
