Update,

Astro is back up and stable.. for now, will continue to monitor and keep this thing from falling completely apart. We are almost done with the server move. Here is what we are doing step by step. (What is left)

##############

Step 1) Configuring ASP services on new server

Step 2) Will test everything on new live link. If all goes well, we can schedule the DB sync

Step 3) DB Sync - the 1st time we synced database, it took 3 hours instead of the longer estimate I originally thought, so when we sync again LIVE, we can expect it to be down for less time than I estimated.

Step 4) Switch Nameservers - test, test, wait for any additional reports or issues

Step 5) If Steps 1-4 go well, then we cancel Amazon

Sorry for the downtime, this server is running thin on resources, and it's like I have to make a decision between copying the files and the site going down, or letting the site stay up, and do nothing, so its catch 22, but we are almost there.

Thanks!

Don
