Move to a new server (SUCCESSFUL)

We're moving safe.mn (along with go2.gs, clic2.gs and cliks.fr and 888.hn) to a new, more powerful,  server.

The move will start on Tuesday 08/14/2012 at 8pm PST and will finish the same day at 10pm PST. The API will be shutdown during the move, so new short URLs can be created during the 2-hour move (UPDATE: it lasted 22 minutes only).

The short URLs will still redirect users throughout the move. We will loose a bout a day of statistics about traffic.

We will update this post when the move starts, and when it is done.
