Moving the site to another server with the same hosting company this weekend. The existing plan is not capable of running the newer VB forums and I was able to persuade them to move me to a plan that would, while keeping the same features I have now, for the same price I've been paying. Advertised price is $4 more a month. I guess it helps to have the same host for the past 7 years. :)
The main downtime will be when the nameservers get changed (i.e. when the domain name starts to point to the new ip instead of the old). Might take a bit for some browsers to update.
Anyway, it "should" be a pretty straightforward swap and I have numerous backups, haha. I'm going to take more as well before going 100% live with the new site.
Please post here if anyone experiences any issues.
