GTD Tracks blog

The migration to a new hosting provider has gone well and I am planning on flipping the switch tonight at 11pm EST. It should only take an hour for the DNS changes to propagate, but I would allow for 2-3 hours of downtime for the migration + DNS propagation.

Once again I apologize for the performance you are currently seeing – hopefully today will be the last such day.

Due to the increasingly degrading performance issues we are currently experiencing I have accelerated the search for a new hosting provider and have identified one. The signup process is underway and I hope to have the switch turned on to the new account by Friday night.

Please bear with us as we remedy this situation. As a daily user of Tracks myself I understand what an impedance this is to your productivity. For that I apologize.

I have really not been happy with the current performance we’re experiencing with GTDTracks. While it may seem like a cop-out, I believe this to be an issue with our hosting provider. We’ve had enough minor instabilities and unknown system hiccups with our current provider that I will be actively looking for a new hosting provider. Please hang in there while we remedy this situation, thank you for your patience.

I plan on taking the site down for a couple of minutes tonight, around 10:30 pm EST, to reconfigure our load balancer and improve system uptime.

We experienced some intermittent downtime between midnight last night and this morning. We’ve been having some issues with the quality of service our hosting service is providing and will be exploring various options shortly.

I’m going to try and take a look at our server setup this afternoon for the purpose of simplifying our setup – I don’t expect any downtime but be aware some fiddling may be happening…

We’ll let you know when we’re steady again.

We some erratic behavior and downtime this morning due to our load balancer and backed Tracks service not communicating correctly. This has been resolved – sorry for the downtime.

Definitely feel free to shoot us an email if you’re experiencing erratic behavior – our goal is 100% uptime.
