Team website moving !

Post by **UBT - Timbo** » Sun Oct 01, 2006 7:09 pm

Hi all,

Just in case you think there's a problem, please be advised that I'm in the process of moving the UBT website onto a different IP address and server.

Should all have propagated through by Monday morning.....so, don't worry your little cotton socks, it's all OK and under control........!

regards

Tim

Does that mean we can soon get a new website, or do I have to keep holding my breath a lot longer yet

Hi David,

The new server allows a lot more functionality to be incorporated onto any website running on it. And hopefully, if I can spare some time and maybe get some help from Dazza, perhaps, then there's some things we might be able to do now, which I couldn't "do" before.

Likewise, if some money is donated to the upkeep of the server, (see http://www.ukboincteam.org.uk/ubt-funding.html) then all sorts of other things might happen as well....but there is a limit in terms of time that I can afford to spend on it, as I have my "real job" to do, which already takes up a lot of my time.

You see: Upto now, it's been very much a "hobby" thing for me to do. And while I don't foresee this becoming a "major source of income", I do have to look carefully at what resources I can "spare" to do major changes.

HOWEVER:
One idea I have thought about is to allow team members to create their own webpages on the Team website, so that if you think the team would benefit from your HTML or coding skills, then I'm happy to provide a "link" in from the main site and then the Team could benefit by utilising members skills and idea's.

I'd always considered the Team website to be a "portal" - currently, we mainly link to other sites - so why not link to our own members????

Hi all,

DNS should have propgated now - I can access UBT Team site (via web) now and assume most of you can as well.

Correct - give the man a banana !!

The first one is the one that is linked to from "allied" websites - so for people who "know" about BOINC and are curious, so the first link takes them to the "main" site.

The second link is for people who find us by other routes (eg google) and hence when one of the page links is clicked they ago to the afore-mentioned "main" page.

It's all designed to maximise our "visibility".

The DNS takes between 12 and 48 hours to fully propagate. And depending on who your ISP is, some will be able to access sooner rather than later.

But it is now live on the new server, so it'll be accessible sometime today for most.

Well I certainly would not be handing it out that would be wrong
