I just wanted to inform everyone that due to a upgrade taking place on the VPS server that AAO25.com is hosted on, there will be some minimal downtime when everything gets moved. It it scheduled for the 5th of November. We will do a full backup before anything is done so nothing will get lost.

You need to learn how to minimise downtime, because it is so easy to bypass domain to temporary server and VPS could be easy cloned so.

The thing is, I couldn't give a crap less. Sure, it's possible, Smoke even said so. But I'd bet there's extra setup and hassle and what's the point? People aren't going to care if this site is down for a little while. Now if this site was performing a critical function then yea, it would be great to have a seamless transition.
From my limited knowledge, I believe the VPS server is just going to be re-setup on another machine and not cloned. AAO25 will still be accessible, probably from the IP so at that point, I'll make a backup and restore it to the new VPS when it's up and running.

Thats how it should be done:

That's incompatible because we have hamsters in wheels running the servers right now. Adding cats to the mix would cause severe downtime.
