i had a test DB on MSSQL3 (CL2) before the transfer and it was working great.
i happened to bring it live just as the transfer was going on. since mssql3 has been on the new server (that is, from a few days ago) my site has been painfully slow - with up to 50 seconds between page loads!! sometimes i get MSSQL timeout errors.
i have been waiting for support to get back to me (awaiting senior tech’s for almost 24 hours already) - but wanted to see if its anyone else.
are you using the IP 173.0.139.236 would be my first question? If any reason it is using the old IP it is having to make a multi thousand km round trip that does slow things down.
Otherwise, everything should be fast faster the hardware in the new server doubled the CPUs, increased the speed per cpu, and is sitting on WD Raptor drives, something we never did before on SQL servers.
Stephen, I will be away from the computer from a few minutes time till 19:00 (@ GMt+2) TOMORROW - if you need anything from me further to this, pls let me know really soon - i would really like this server move (to win 11/12) to happen immediately.
