Upcoming Server Switch
» Fri Mar 12, 2010So...we're already close to hit certain server limits with the host I'm working with right now.
FYI, the board is currently being hosted on a fast virtual shared host which basically means it's one single machine with other customer accounts. That's nice for a start but we have to move on pretty soon. We will have our own server in March. Just for us
If everything works fine it will be a smooth transition, in a worst-case scenario I would have to deactivate the board for several hours notifying everybody prior to this downtime.
For you tech nerds, here's some specs for our new baby:
CPU: 1 x Intel® Xeon® X3330 Quad Core
RAM: 8 GB
HDD: 2 x SATA/SAS 3,5? 300 GB 15krpm
Fixed IP
500 MBit guaranteed bandwidth at any time
1 Gbit/s uplink
5000 GB traffic per month (right now we have around 15GB per week)
And a bazillion of extras, including on-the-fly backups around the clock and 24/7 tech support
Nice, huh? This switch will offer enough resources for quite some time.
Cheers!
