Deramyr 26 Posted September 1, 2017 Hi guys! I'm trying to update everybody on our plans more, and I've got something exciting to share: We're moving to a different hosting provider! The new server has been ordered but is not yet delivered. Once we have access, we will provision and test it, then make the move. I expect that when the move ultimately happens, there will be no more than an hour of downtime. We will have more information on when this will be, when we know ourselves. Our webserver will be staying where it is for now but likely will also move at some point. The new dedicated server is going to be cheaper, which is great, and will have an SSD RAID. The RAID means improved data reliability as well as faster database read speeds. We are cutting down the amount of RAM we have, from 128GB to 64GB. From current trends, this shouldn't interfere at all; we aren't using even 16GB at the moment. Our new hosting provider is still German. The latency we see to Germany from both the USA and Europe has been good so far, and in Australia we get 300ms either way. If you have any questions, either PM me or post here and I'll be able to give you an answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deramyr 26 Posted September 1, 2017 I had the question of whether there would be any data loss in the form of phases or objects or anything. The answer is simply no; we will be taking a minimal downtime to migrate over to make sure that we lose absolutely no data. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deramyr 26 Posted September 2, 2017 We have ourselves a new server - we're getting it set up now. More updates on when we're going to make the transition when we're close to it and have a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
