DNS servers should resolve www.justsnipe.com to the new server and cause no problem signing in to JustSnipe. If the problem still persists, try using

The new server in another data center is more solid and stable than what we used to have. We apologize for any inconvenience that may cause. During the outage on Apr 6th, a few bids were missed due to this event. Also, this change may cause some interfaces not to be working properly, please let us know any problem that you may have.
