First of all, what is an IP address? Well here's the definition. An IP address is a numerical label assigned to a device like a computer or printer etc, participating in a computer network that uses the internet protocol for communication. It's like how your house has a street address, your computer has one too. Our server has an IP address, it is 96.44.143.26:25585. With that combination of numbers, you are able to get on our ChildsCraft server and start building. But there's a problem. For the past few months, our server host has been notifying us that the section of their server that we are located in, is getting too full. So they offered us a less crowded, less laggy section in their server database. But to do that transition our IP adress address would change. So if you tried to lo in after we made that switch, you would not be able to get on our server, because it's not located there anymore. So in about 2 weeks (official still being worked on with Hawkeye_7) we will make the switch over to the new, less laggy server. Of course you must be wondering, "Will I lose all my stuff?" The answer is no, you will not notice anything different about our server, except for the IP change, and how it is less laggy. Your house and everything in it will be the same, and your inventory too. How this is done, is the same way we back up the world maps. Everything, all 1.8 Gigabytes of it, (which is a lot for Minecraft) is save on our computers here at the house of Hawkeye_7, me, and Falcon_7. We got it all saved. To make sure no one gets left behind in this transition, we are doing our best to get the word out to everyone. Check our twitter, Facebook, and here on the website. We will post the new IP as soon as we know it. We're also going to have an email notification system set up so everyone can get the new IP address in their email. So send us a message, or comment with your username, and email address, so we can let you know when the switch happens and what the new IP address is. I will be posting here on the blog all the latest updates on how the switch is going on twitter and Facebook, and here on the blog page. We want all to know.
