    I'm literally doing my best and I do sincerely apologize for those unable to access the site. It's just hard moving to a whole new server and then a new firewall service on top of that with a start from scratch firewall configuration.

    Chris, take a beat and take a breath. I get the feeling that you're stressed and a bit overwhelmed.

    Server moves are hard, even under the best of circumstances. That's part of my job and big moves require weeks of planning on our part so I understand and empathize.

    Don't sweat it and the people whining about the downtime need to find more productive uses of their time. It's just gaming.

    I work for a tech company that's near the top of the Fortune 500 list. I don't think we've ever had a server migration go 100% to plan. No matter how much money or how many people you throw at it, sh*t happens.

    Chris, you really shouldn't take this out on yourself. Especially since you don't have full control of all the pieces (like DNS propagation). You recovered gracefully, and that's the important part.

    Glad I got to this discussion as I am experiencing the same problem with all devices on my NBN network not about to get CH website but i can on my mobile phone. I am not worried as i have an offline key. so go for your life making a migration.
