classiccmp status

1) Due to the generosity of Richard (with myself making up the balance of the cost), there is now a wildcard SSL certificate on the classiccmp server that can provide encrypted connections for any subdomain hosted under the classiccmp server. For all of you that host websites on the classiccmp server, if you're located on a subdomain of classiccmp.org and wish to take advantage of that let me know and I'll add it to your virtual host configuration. Thanks Richard! 2) We are finally "in process" of moving our datacenter (where the classiccmp server is located). We're not actually moving any machines, we're building new infrastructure at the new datacenter and then migrating services "across the wire" from the old datacenter to the new one. Then the equipment at the old datacenter will (mostly) be scrapped. Generally we don't expect any outages for the classiccmp mailing list, bitsavers repository, and related classiccmp hosted websites, but there will be short off-hours periods of time where no changes should be made to existing content. We'll do our best to make sure any relevant issues are posted here for the list. 3) Just to make sure that newer listmembers are aware, we will gladly host any classic/vintage computer related website at no cost for you. Free disk space, Free bandwidth, etc. We provide this service not just for individuals but companies and institutions. I should point out that we'll host any service for free that is vintage computer related - not just websites. We'll host mailing lists, ftp or rsyncd repositories, whatever you wish. Hosting services is what one of my companies does as it's main line of business, so you can be assured of a world class infrastructure (not just a webserver running in someone's basement or in a corner of their business server room). If you have a vintage computer related website or content and you're tired of paying a monthly fee to have it hosted elsewhere, send me an email directly (off-list) to jwest at classiccmp.org and we'll get things set up for you. Best, Jay West
