Hello and thanks for contacting us.
We will update this forum thread (for cookie.tchmachines.com) with any new updates as they happen ( including your new IP address ). Please follow this forum thread for receiving all updates related to your server through email.

As the server was failing to come back online due to some problems with raid array, we had to restore the server to entirely new hardware.
All restores completed as of around 2 hours ago. We are just going through and verifying things. If you are having any issues, please open a ticket via our Help Desk so that our techs can check it out and assist you.
Thank you for your understanding and patience while this was being worked upon.

We will be starting the upgrade in a few minutes.

As part of the continued improvements to the TotalChoice Hosting server farm, we will be migrating all accounts on this server to a new server between July 27 - July 31. This will provide you with more power, stability and potential to further expand your business.
You will not need to make any IP changes or DNS modifications from your end if you are using our nameservers. If you are using external nameservers or pointing the domain via IP from outside, you will need to update the IP to the one mentioned below. Please note that this needs to be done only after the migration is reported as completed in our forums.
Old hostname :: higgins.tchmachines.com
New hostname :: higgins.tchmachines.com
*no changeOld ip :: 208.76.80.74
New ip :: 208.76.80.53
As always our technical support team will be online to attend your queries. -

Restoration is still continuing. Getting closer to normal. Please hold on for further updates.

The restoration is still in progress. This is taking longer than originally expected, although no issues are detected. Our NOC team has made some changes to the setup to improve performance and restores are now progressing quicker.
Thank you for your patience.

cPanel install and server prep are completed.We are starting the restore of the backups now.

We have been seeing drive issues with the server over the last couple of hours. In spite of disk checks the server continues to be unstable and so we have decided to do a restore to entirely new hardware. We will be using the backup that is available on the secondary disk. The brand new server has been provisioned and currently we are preparing this server to restore the accounts.
cPanel is installing now.

We have taken this server (goose.tchmachines.com) down for an emergency disk maintenance. We will update this forum post when the server is back online and all services restored. We thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience.

Hi Erin
mysql_pconnect extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. This issue was occurring because your site was set to use our default PHP version, which we recently changed to PHP 7.3. You can view our announcement of this change and how to select a different version at https://blog.totalchoicehosting.com/2020/03/notice-default-php-version-change/
To correct this for your sites, we have set your site to use the older PHP 5.5 version via cPanel and it appears to be loading fine. I recommend contacting the author of your script to see if they offer a newer version that supports PHP 7.
Please check and if you are still facing any problem, submit a ticket at https://support.totalchoicehosting.com/ and select department as technical and mention the issue to be resolved. We will be glad to help. -
Hello,
We will be changing the default PHP version on our Shared and Reseller servers to 7.3 on March 9th, 2020. PHP 7.3 has been around long enough and has already become widely compatible with different CMS’s, themes and plugins. Currently, the default PHP version is set to 5.6 which as many of you will know, is now end of life and unsupported by the developers.
This change to PHP Version 7.3 will only affect domains that have not explicitly set a PHP Version. If you are running a PHP based website or application and you have kept it regularly updated to the latest version, you shouldn't expect to see any problems. However, if you are using old, outdated PHP scripts that require PHP version 5.6 to run, your website will most likely stop working unless you take action.
You can explicitly set the version of PHP you want to use. We provide PHP versions from 5.4 to 7.3 and you can select the version yourself by using the Multi PHP Manager in your cpanel interface.
QuoteTo change PHP version, perform the following steps:
1. Log into your cPanel account.
2. In the "Software" section, click on the "MultiPHP Manager" Icon.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, select your domain from the left side of the screen and you will see an option "PHP Version" with a drop-down menu on the right side. Select the appropriate PHP version from it and click the Apply button.
As always, if you have any other questions or concerns about this change, please don't hesitate to reach out to our 24/7 Technical Support team via ticket or live chat-

Please note donuts (old server) will be taken offline in couple of days, after which data will be removed permanently and not retrievable. If you encounter any problem with your account after this migration, please contact us immediately.

As part of the upgrade plans TCH has for our server farm, we will be migrating all accounts on this server to a new server over the next two days. The current hardware on donuts has served us well over the years but it’s time to move to bigger and better hardware. This would provide you with more power, stability and potential to further expand your business. The new server is on the same DNS cluster, the sites will work fine as soon as the migration is complete.
Since this is a completely new server, all accounts WILL be getting a new IP address. You still WILL NOT need to make any IP changes or DNS modifications from your end if you are using our nameservers. If you are using external nameservers or po i nting the domain via IP from outside, you will need to update the IP to the one mentioned below.
old IP :: 208.76.86.134 new IP :: 208.76.86.152
If you are using server hostname or server IP as the incoming/outgoing mail server in your email client, you will need to update your mail server settings to point to the new server.old host name :: donuts.tchmachines.com new host name :: rouge.tchmachines.comQuotePlease note that the above needs to be done only after the migration is reported complete here.
We would request you to take the above maintenance into consideration & plan your activities accordingly. As always our technical support team will be online to attend your queries.
