EXTENDED DOWNTIME, THURSDAY MORNING 01/07/2016

Written by The Roll20 Team | Jan 5, 2016 8:00:00 AM

Beginning at 3AM CT Thursday Morning we will be taking down Roll20 for an estimated seven hours in order to migrate our hosting servers.

Our current hosting service has been experiencing stability and security issues recently, and we’ve done our best to work around these problems but it has become increasingly difficult.

We began examining a move to Google Cloud Platform hosting several months ago– in part because of the convenience in relationship to Firebase– and had not made a final decision until these recent issues with Roll20 downtime and degraded service.

We understand this short notice will be an inconvenience to some, but believe it best for the entire site’s population to bring site stability better under our control and hopefully allow us to provide additional speed improvements.
