It's been a rough weekend for ClickTrackProfit...
...but it was expected....
In a nutshell, all the changes to the cPanel pricing has caused a lot of websites to revisit how to run their backends. And CTP was no different.
We decided to make a change and have begun the process of transferring our servers to a new system. Without getting into too much techy stuff (this is @jongolson after all writing this update...) there is expected to be intermittent downtimes and outages. Simply because of the size of the data transfer.
We have scheduled the 'outages' during non-peak hours around midnight to 4 am eastern time, but this is best case scenario.
To sun it up, over the next day or so, the outages will remain but we are doing this so that CTP can continue to grow!
Apologies for any downtime you may experience, we hate having any website we own offline for any amount of time....But this is necessary to serve you better in the future :)
Speaking of the future....
December 15th!
Mark the date down because Santa's coming to CTP....In a big way :)
Our first badge hunt for Christmas in about 4 years is coming!
Good news and bad news....
Bad news first, that if you were looking to buy a badge for the event, we have already SOLD OUT! Our badges for this hunt sold out in a little over 24 hours...Which is awesome to see!
Our members and promo partners LOVE these hunts and that was quite evident with the selling out of the badges in such a short amount of time.
Good news is...This hunt will be EPIC! And you will have lots of opportunity to network and grow with our amazing partners and what they are offering our hunters!
Stay tuned to our Facebook group for more information and of course our blog here on CTP Talk as we get ready for December 15th :)
Crypto Training Coming....?
Big news also from within the ClickTrackProfit training platform itself...We will be doing some crypto training for our members to help bridge the gap between affiliate marketing and crypto currency.
We've done two past projects like Bitcoin Bully and @SteemSavvy to help educate 'newbies' to crypto and we think we can bring some of that to a CTP environment as well.
We will be working on our newest training module over the next few days and you can expect a lot of information about Steem, CTP Talk and a host of other projects we think can benefit our affiliate marketing audience!
It's going to be a lot of fun :)
The 'Official' CTP Merchandise store is open for business.

When downtime is for a higher cause, it can be all forgiven. :)
I have no doubts that CTP will be better, faster and more profitable :)
Thanks man, yeah it's back end boring stuff....but we had to make the switch and Blain has been busting his butt to get it all back to normal. Should be another day or so at most.
Exciting stuff coming. There is a never dull moment in our awesome CTP community. No worries about the site's downtime - it will all be worth it when everything is up & running. Change is inevitable sometimes lol. :)
For sure! Not always goes as planned, but in a few days it'll be in the past and we can look towards a huge end to 2019!
Thank you Jon for the update. I have been trying all day to get on CTP without success. Hope it will be back up soon
Yeah, we mentioned it last week in the webinars and on Twitter....We should have done a better job of getting the word out that this was expected.
Changes are necessary for the greater good! Will be all worth it afterwards! Good time for the CTPeeps get in here and create, curate and engage! 🍀
Yeah exactly, more time to curate :)
Thanks for the update, Jon. The down server time at CTP, just means more time to study up at SteemSaavy! Great things happening with CTP, keep up the hard work!!
LOL Nice....Yeah lots of stuff to learn with a little CTP downtime.
Thanks for the update Jon, and with Blains new desk and computer he will be done in half the time, stay awesome.
yeah, gave him some time to work on the desk lol
It's a great desk. 👍😀
The Only thing that is Constant is Change!
Absolutely. Embrace it!!

TrufflePigThanks for the explanation Jon of the reason for CTP downtime. By being honest and open, you build trust. Just wish every site owner would be so forthcoming!
I'm looking forward to the CTP Christmas Badge Hunt. If that Hunt is as successful as the last one, we'll be collecting badges like crazy and earning heaps of XP for our CTP ranks.
Incorporating the crypto training module into the CTP training program is just plain awesome! Given the fast changing pace of crypto, you'll be able to show us all the latest blockchain tips and tricks, and hopefully you can pull in a few crypto sites into that module too, like what you have for mastery.
You will be updating your CTP generic splash pages too, to reflect the change in focus from fiat to crypto? Be nice to see the new CTP token promos being splashed or squeezed around the traffic exchanges!
Very good information, with your update, CTP will be much better, thanks @clicktrackprofit
