Last night I moved BCM to a new host which utilizes cloud/virtualization technologies. This should give us better redundancy as there is no single point of failure for the server or network.

I guess it surprises me you had a host that didn't already virtualize your site on you :)

This is very true, but in my world it means redundancy/fault tolerance. There are 4 data centers that the "server instance" could be booted up on in the event of a failure.

That is true "Cloud", not just moving your data online so it's accessible from anywhere which is how some people use it.

Yes, but without clouds, where would the rain come from to put out the firewall?

Well, they should be. A wall of fire would keep way more shit out than a simple wall made to keep fire out.

Cryp, check the default dns record for brewcitymuscle.com rather than the full www. I can get to the forum by typing it, but from the main front page it hard links to the non www record and no connect. COuld be my dns cache i suppose but a flush didn't fix it for me.

Both resolve as expected for me. www record is CNAME'd to A record.
