Temporary Server move and Spain

Coming Wednesday I'll be going on a vacation trip to Spain with my family which means I'll be gone for till the 13th of August. What this means is that I won't be online during those 3 weeks since I don't have access to internet over there but it also means that the server won't be able to run at my house since my dad wants everything turned off while we're gone (which I can understand why). To prevent the site from being down during those 3 weeks I'll be moving the server over to Djjuul13's house (whom I know IRL). This means that the DNS settings for the domains will have to be changed. This isn't really a problem since our DNS provider seems to let stuff propagate as soon as any setting is changed but your local cache may be an issue.

Here's some ways you may be able to help your DNS Cache to update; On Windows open run (Windows Key + R) and run "ipconfig /flushdns", alternatively you can try restarting the DNS Client service which seems to be more effective for me in most cases. I'm not quite certain how to do it on Linux since I'll assume that there's multiple DNS Client services and Mac users can use Google.

If you want to set stuff manually you can, with your hosts file!

IP URL
83.84.176.91 flashii.net
83.84.176.91 www.flashii.net
83.84.176.91 cdn.flashii.net
83.84.176.91 chat.flashii.net
83.84.176.91 sys.flashii.net

These are all the "relevant" Flashii URLS, if you wish to use this method make sure you remove these after the 13th of August.

I'll announce my return on @flashiinet on Twitter and also when the server is back at my house. The server will be moved over to the new location anywhere between 12:00 PM and 20:00 PM CEST (UTC+2) on the 22th of July.
