The new hosting plan allows for a dedicated IP, so will be enabling that option as we won't have to share it with other websites and gain us some bandwidth. This can cause a 6 - 24 hour outage for some users as the new IP has to propagate through out the world and it will take some users host DNS servers longer to update than others.
For those savvy enough with their computers, and you aren't able to get to FWW, you can flush your local DNS entries to speed up the process.
To do so:

** For windows users, you may need to run the command window as an administrator. If you click the start button, click in the search box and type "cmd", the search should find the "cmd.exe" program, right click it, click "Run as Administrator", and then run the commands in the link above for Windows.
I'll be making the change around midnight (CST) tonight, so please bookmark the link above as you may not be able to get back to our site to find the instructions later. The update will eventually make it to your ISP's DNS Server, but doing the above linked process can speed that process by hours. Again, if you can get to the FWW site, you won't need to take any action.
