Migration of DCS Bitcoin Wallet Sites
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2026 2:51 am
Hey guys,
Please be advised that we will be migrating all of the front-end wallet sites to a new hosting provider. The provider that we've been with over the past year used to be excellent, until they were acquired by a larger company. Since this acquisition, the level of service and support has been gradually declining and some of us are periodically experiencing the impact from the degradation in service. The hosting service that we will be migrating from is FastComet, which used to provide top-notch service and support; but not so much now.
I've encountered numerous issued with their service since the acquisition, including email delivery failures, slow loading times, and their inability to provide the same server setup & configuration to support our sites for an upcoming migration to another one of their data centers (they will no longer support the data centers in Milan, Italy).
After quite a bit of time and research, I've finally found another hosting provider that shows promise of supporting our front-end sites and I'll begin the process of migrating our sites to the new hosting provider today. There will be a temporary delay in service for each of the sites, but I'll handle the migration in a way that will minimize the down time.
That being said, you may recall a previous issue we encountered 5-6 months ago where we encountered connectivity issues with our front-end sites; as referenced in the below video:
The resolution for that issue was to move our hosting out of FastComet's data center in Germany to their data center in Milan. So while I'm not too keen on hosting our front-end sites from any data centers in Germany, this is the only feasible location for the new hosting provider that we'll be migrating to. They do have a data center in Singapore but after running some tests from that data center, it was taking a long time for pages to load (resulting latency from data transfers over longer distances). Testing from their Germany data centers produced more acceptable load times, so we'll go with that for the time being.
This is just a heads up to keep you guys in the know of what's going on behind the scenes and many thanks to those of you that reported issues with slow load times or inoperable functionality. Prayerfully, this migration will resolve all such issues.
For this migration, I'll be migrating a single site over at a time to allow those using multiple platforms to access at least 2 of the available 3 wallet sites.

CURRENT STATUS:
All DCS Bitcoin Wallet sites have been migrated to a new hosting provider.
If you are seeing the Migration page, check back every 15 minutes or so because it takes time for the domain details to propagate globally.
