Server Upgrades

Hi Gang,

Over the next week or so we will be upgrading our server.

Our current server has served us well and we have upgraded a few things on it over the past few months, but unfortunately, it simply can't keep up with the traffic we get during the peak times during the day.

We are therefore moving to a new server which is much larger, much more powerful and much faster. The new server is currently being built for us and should be up and running in the next couple of days.

After the new server is up and running, the current site will have to be migrated over to it and there will probably be some site down time during the transition.

Is this possibly one more instance of "No replacement for Displacement?" And I quote,"..much larger, much more powerful and much faster" Ahh.

Yes, you could say we're boring that sucker .30 over and adding a blower. :D

Errr....wait a minute...I think we already did that....

OK....let's try this instead....

We ordered a brand new Big-Block crate motor and we'll be dropping it in over the next week or so. :thumb: :)

Now if you could just come up with a solution for my sometimes flaky Comcast internet that keeps costing more and delivering less.
 
Excellent, I noticed this site kinda dragged at times.
Yeah, the server has been struggling a bit when we're busiest, which is usually between 4-9 PM most days.

We tried upgrading a few things and tweaking some settings, which helped but not enough.

The new server is now up, we just have to migrate everything over and get things back up and running.

Hopefully after that we'll be golden. :)

That's cool I was blaming it on my end!
 
Hi Gang,

We're just getting things set up and then we'll start the migration.

The I.P. addresses are going to change, so the downtime will vary a little bit depending on each user and where you're located. :)

Thanks,

-Chris
 
LOL!

No need to keep it below half throttle or anything, you can hammer it keith! :devil:

Because the I.P. addresses changed, it might take a bit before everyone is directed to the new server.

-Chris
 
So whats new? no more refreshing alot at peak times and having troubles getting on?

Seems the pages change much quicker, might just be lack of people on, but things seem faster.

I see my posts from yesterday are gone from another thread. I guess I should attribute that to the server upgrages? :brickwall:

Yes, it's most likely from server upgrades.

I would just recreate what ever was lost.
