Just to let people know, over the next 2-3 days I'm transferring the chestergames.co.uk domain to a new registrar*, changing the DNS servers over to the new registrar, and renewing it for two more years.

While I'll be as careful as possible making the changes (as I was when I did it with my own domains) there's a slim chance that DNS won't resolve for a bit, and http://forum.chestergames.co.uk won't go anywhere.

If that's the case, http://chestergames.myfreeforum.org should be usable in the interim.

* The new registrar is gandi.net. They may be French, but you've got to love a company with the motto 'No CENSORED'. Cool

All of the changes above have now been made; propagation may take a few minutes to a few hours.

The forum and wiki both appear to be working fine (for me anyway). The main web site still isn't resolving; I'll look into it further in the morning if it's still a problem.

The problems with the main web site were nothing to do with the domain change, they were because the web host was suffering a DOS attack and had to change their IP addresses. It was just a coincidence that it happened at the same time.
