Pardon our dust, We're moving......again

[HB Vic]

Once again its time to move our site for a few reasons. Mainly good, we're growing. Thats a good thing.

We had a few bumps with godaddy awhile back, but once they figured out who we were things have been running smooth. Hopefully no one has had any issues logging in or connecting to the site.

To prevent any future issues, I am going to switch to a dedicated server. I'm going to stick with Godaddy, they seem to be doing a good job for us and are pretty responsive whenever we do have issues.

Dedicated ain't no joke. And it isn't cheap. But it's the right thing to do. A lot of you remember the issues we had awhile back. I dont want that to happen again. It really sucked ass. So this is a proactive step on my part to make sure we dont have those issues again.

Admin has been ready to pull the trigger on the move for awhile. I've asked him to hold off until a week or two after the Lucas Classic. Just in case we encounter a bump or two.

We'll give you a heads up when we're ready to pull the trigger. More than likely it will be late at night. And if all goes well you should not even notice we moved. But after the move the site should be super fast and we will not have the connectivity issues we've had in the past.

We certainly appreciate your patience. Thanks for hanging out with us here at www.hotboat.com (http://www.hotboat.com)!!

He fixed the ones you sent me.

[HB Vic]

It seems a few people used invalid email addresses. We just checked the new sign up deal and it's working fine.

Please make sure you don't make a typo or use an invalid email address when you sign up or you'll never receive the confirmation email.

Im good now. But when I tried to log in when I was in Havasu this morning it said I was banned forever. :no:

BTW How can one PM you if they can't log on.???

[Napanutt]

I think everyone's banned until the dust settles.

[Wendi]

Reach me on Hotboat Facebook with a message or email sales@hotboat.com. I think the banned situation has been fixed.

[HB Vic]

Sorry for the inconvienence people. We're doing our best to minimize the impact. The move has something to do with how the site propagates through the internet. That and the site had to be move to a temporary url (river911.com) before the move can be complete.

Please be patient. It will all get fixed and this will (I hope!!) be the last move.

Thank you,
HB

Still working out some issues. I know it's frustrating, trust me I'm getting blown up on email and text and I've experienced some of the issues first hand.

Admin is working very hard on this move. It's been a pain in the ass quite honestly but once it's done and all the issues are resolved, we will be on a dedicated server. The site should be smokin fast and we should not have any issues down the road.

Thanks again everyone for your patience and understanding.

Wendi, that email address is bouncing back.

[HB Vic]

It is possible that our email is down for a bit too.

Try info@hotboat.com. Let me know if that doesnt work then I'll pm you a private address.

Banned on Sunday Morning but fixed on Sunday evening! All is working great now for me! Good luck with the change over. We changed the servers at work last Tuesday and are still working out some "kinks"

[HB Vic]

Complete pain in the ass people, trust me I feel your pain.

Just looking now it finally says hotboat.com again!!

We're getting there.

[HB Vic]

Good morning.

The site may be intermittent today. But after today we should be golden.

Its working for me. Both on my PC and Tapatalk. Hopefully the move will be complete by the end of day today and we can move forward.

Appreciate your patience. We're almost there.
