I know the answer to one of your questions:

Q:How much does the new server cost?
A: A lot.

 

I would like a more formal response/answer..also, all questions are welcomed to be asked on this thread!

 

TJ, stop acting like you've got a pole up your ass. You're better than that.

Sythe said he would be moving his server a bit back - let's hope he was telling the truth when he said it would help the downtime.

 

Sorry, quite annoyed at this point of time.

Also, did he make a post on it? If so, link? ^.^

 

I don't have a link.

I do remember him saying that his host was blocking IPs randomly, though, so I took that as a hint towards him wanting a new host.

 

oo, alright.

Maybe he will make an appearance on this thread?

 

I could not get on sythe till it said that. Had to use a proxy. I r glad its up and it is running faster than ever for me. I am glad.

 

Oh heck yeah, who wouldn't be happy

 

Good to hear about the new server, it does seem pretty fast.
What do you mean by 'redesign' on the work? As in new skin?
Ooo, private server..nice nice.
What is remote admin arrangement? Is that what the company is?

 

So do you think that if we have the server online at all times, then you will be making more money?

Also, im just curious on how much it costs (the new server) instead of alot

edit/

also, every time i go to refresh the page, it goes to "sythe.org is being moved to a new server. Be back soon. is this normal?

 

Alright, thank you Sythe!

And please, keep us updated

 

I've always liked the current forum skin. No complaints about changing but an option to stick to the current one would be nice.

;and the server is about three times as fast. It was about the speed of dial-up with my 100MB/s connection, and now it's up-to-par with most other websites.

 

A new skin would be nice, and I am very glad that you are making cash again. The new server is great, no more reading emails while waiting for sythe to load.

 

Hopfile could build a customized php program designed specifically for your server to monitor on a live basis and send scheduled/non-scheduled updates via SMS or text-to-speech to your phone in order to report vital data such as memory and cpu usage as well as mysql/lighttpd server performance in order to foil potential server downtime or lag before it occurs. In addition we could customize your php + mysql settings to optimize performance for VBulletin itself which could include providing 4 times more memory to your dedicated mysql daemon as well as removing the bottlenecks for php's mysql functions.

Your server would pack a massive punch with 4GB of dedicated RAM in addition to 4500GB bandwidth and 135GB data storage. If you're interested send a pm to me over this site and I can give you my msn/email/business line and we can discuss things further.

Those of you who will complain, no I'm not trying to advertise to everyone but to be honest I know this won't be read if I pm him.

 

I understand your conundrum. I know you're a very knowledgeable person as far as this subject goes so I assumed you might want some insight on the details of your server, although it's your choice ultimately. Regardless of whether or not you want data forwarded directly to you we could manage, monitor, install, tune and fix your server completely without interrupting you beyond request of monthly payment/your personal customer support queries.

First of all we wouldn't use PHP exclusively as a server monitoring system, our systems are equipped with OpManager server monitoring software and are monitored 24/7 by linux certified operators.

In addition the server we use to run our monitoring tools runs locally and isn't connected to the internet. We would run a monitoring program on this server for security purpose and preferably program it in php and/or java simply because these are my best programming languages.

Your server isn't limited to just 4GB of RAM and 135GB of diskspace, a single PowerEdge server can hold 64GB of RAM exclusively. We typically offer 4GB as a start simply because it offers the best balance of price and can fit the needs of most hightraffic sites although we can provide you with more RAM for a onetime fee or a monthly fee. In addition, we'll actually be running two "servers" under your name; the main server with all of the features above and a lesser server which would be used as a failsafe to prevent unnecessary downtime in the event that our technicians need to perform emergency maintenance.
