# The final move has occurred

So, the move to the new datacenter is complete. We finished off the final changes last night | early this morning, and the Web server and database are now running on a big fat pipe at [365 Main](http://365main.com/) in downtown San Francisco.

How did I spring for new hardware and hot hosting? Well, I had a little help from some Friends of GrabPERF -- Technorati.

About 3 months ago, [Dave Sifry](https://web.archive.org/web/20060815032312/https://technorati.com/about/staff.html?s=david_sifry) contacted me when we went through our last financial crisis and offered to host the whole kit and kaboodle. He put me in contact with [Adam Hertz](https://web.archive.org/web/20060815032312/http://technorati.com/about/staff.html?s=adam_hertz), who turned me over to Camille Riddle.

After driving Camille and her team nuts for two months, we switched everything over starting at about 23:30 EST (04:30 GMT) last night. There were a few hic and burps, and the DNS propagation may take a while to reach some of the most distant folks, but this morning, I issued the final "poweroff" command to my home-based Web server.

I want to thank the Technorati team for all if their help, and I look forward to continuing to deliver quality data to the blog community.
