OK, here is the situation.
Thanks to all your donations (I will send a seperate messag in the future of the game topic later) we can continue with Peloton and thanks to Poekie we found a cheap server. The contract with the old server runs until May 17 and I need to concel this at least 48 hours in front. It was my intention to do that on the 14th, because you never know what they do when you cancel....
In the mean time we already started at a new host and Helder and IP (the designer of the game) are busy with transferring, which is not an easy job. It is especially difficult for Helder since it is in Dutch.
But today the old host made a payment of my creditcard for the next year without my permission. I have been in contact with them today and finally they agreed on the refund and I cancelled our agreement as per May 17.
And what I was afraid of in the first place, that is why I wanted to cancel only on the 14th, is that they terminated it immediately. I have been in contact with them again, and the employee had to ask her boss, one of the admins. He should look at it and send me an e-mail. So unfortunately we have to wait for that. I hope it will come soon, because tonight I am offline between 19.00 and 21.00. I'll let everybody now a.s.a.p. or I send a whattsapp to Helder.
If this takes too long we will postpone tomorrow's race.
Sorry guys for the hickup.

Always troublesome companies that do not have proper administrative processes in place. Good luck, Ab. Hope you will get through them soon.

Legally they should let server run until 17th OR refund for 14 days... very unprofessional to do this as sort of revenge (what else...)

Game is back online.
since we need to make the server transfer to the new one, we probably will postpone the game 1 week after sunday update ( May 9th) So we will have a week to transfer the server to the new one and then we come back online on the new server. We have a lot of work with the transfer. We are doing this to keep the game alive.

Dear managers,
We are going to transfer the game to another server to make sure that we can continue the game and give better performance in the future. But this is a lot of work and it takes time.
Therefore we decided to shut down the game for a week until the transfer is done.
Concrete: After this sunday's update, May 9. the game will be paused for a week an will continue on sunday May 16 where we start on the situation where we paused. Please don't put riders on the transferlist after tonight, Thursday May 6, 20.00 hours.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Your Peloton Team.

Dear managers,
The Peloton game will be stopped during this week this way we will transfer the server to the new one. All tasks were postponed 1 week, and we have made a back up at 21.15h(game time). So nothing that you do now will be right next sunday so don't do nothing more after the time of the update.
We will try to do it all during this week so next Sunday we restore today's back up at 21h and we can keep playing the current calendar.
The current server will be out day 15th.
Thanks for playing Peloton

Update: We already transfer all datas to the new server.
Tomorrow we will try to link the web site to the new host server and test it.

Good to know!
One thing: "A change to a DNS record—for example, changing the IP address defined for a specific hostname—can take up to 72 hours to propagate worldwide, although it typically takes a few hours."
Though more than two days is very rare, I think.

I have bad news.
To put working Plesk app we had to reinstall the operation system so we have again to transfer all data base and reinstall all software needed to make the game run.
Since I lack time this weekend and Frank also we will do it during the week.
An email will be send tomorrow to all managers.

Ouch, that must have been frustrating. Anyway, quality is more important than speed. Hope it all goes well this week!
