Potential Site Downtime

0

d3wrestle.com has been using the same server and hosting service since its inception in 2007. I was informed recently that the old hosting service will no longer be available as of January 1st, 2022. This will necessitate moving the site to a different server and will likely result in some site downtime on January 1st for an as yet undetermined amount of time. I am not enough of a technical expert to promise everything will go smoothly, but my hope is that I can restore the site sometime that day. Keep an eye on the d3wrestle.com Twitter account for updates, and I will see you in 2022!
