Well, you might have noticed downtime from time to time, and I guess that's reasonable. A constant 300 users online can bring down most servers. :P

I've decided to move EmuTalk off Redah's server, because I don't want to bring him the trouble of downtime. He runs a hosting business and I can understand his customers being a bit pissed off. :)

I'll invest in a new server when I get my next paycheck, should be in about 3 weeks. I think I've decided which one to get:

<b>Dual 2.4GHz Xeons
2 x 80 GB Drives
2048 MB Ram
1200 GB Bandwidth</b>

My good old buddy Bobbi from NGEmu uses that exact server, so he gave me that tip.

Sorry about the recent downtime, and pay your respects to Redah for hosting EmuTalk for the last few years. :)

Note: This is not final, if traffic decreases a lot shortly, we might stick around. Just thought I'd let you know what will most likely happen.

NGEmu runs very nice on that server, but the thing that seems to still slow it down is all the emails it sends out every day. :huh:

Emu64 and Nathell server down at the moment, backing everything up (files, databases, e-mails ec). In case anyone wonders :)

Will let you know when they're back up.

Just a little status update:

The server's running extremely well, by looking at load averages it seems there's hardly any traffic on it, but then you look at emutalk with 200 online, and vgn, dcemu and emufanatics with 100 online each and you understand how powerful this server is.

It's holding up very well, just like expected. :)

DNS died? What do you mean by that?

well me and stezo2k+ were experiencing DNS problems, it just wasnt finding the site at all. could have been down to the change in server if the ip changed tho...
Martin

Well, that has nothing to do with the servers, both servers has been up during the change.

How very childish. Do you even have any experience with dedicated web servers and their performance?

Heh, don't let them get to you marty.
As long as the server's up and running with no problems we're all happy :)
