Admin Corner - New Server Complete

[Brent Dacus]

All:
The server move is complete. We have successfully migrated to a new host. This has been a long time coming and a lot of work in the background. Thanks for everyone hanging in there. Overall you should find the site more responsive. We also hope it will be more stable going forward. The company we have chosen has really good customer service and are very responsive to issues if we have any. To compare and contrast what we had to what we have.

Server is brand new on the latest LTS OS CentOS Linux fully updateable by me. The old server was about 3 years behind on updates (out of my control).
We have 32 CPUs now. We had 4.
We have 65 gig of Hard disk. We had 20 gigs.
We have Server side caching now. We had no option for that.
We have 3 gigs of RAM. We had 2 gigs.
We also are paying about HALF the cost we were paying!!

Well I know that is a lot of tech jargon but I needed to get it out... I just say it's Mo Betta..

Also If you experience issues connecting. Clear your Temp Files and your cookies and a reboot my help as well.

As I said before there is some tweaking we will do in the coming days and weeks. So stay tuned..

Well that seemed to be quick and smooth. With all the tech talk I will say what I say to IT guys at work "so your saying its better and fixed now?" Thank you for the work!!

Brent deserves a huge thanks for all of his work on this. It looked seamless because he has been getting ready for this for the last week - moving huge amounts of files and hooking everything back together. Months ago, I kept giving him a little grief that "it is going to be seamless. right?". Well, Brent pulled it off and we just greatly increased our speed and capacity and reduced our monthly server cost by half.

Thank You Brent!
