We are back up! (Again)

[Scott Greczkowski]

Well folks we are back up again (and hopefully that was our last extended outtage for a LONG long time)

While we were down we upgraded to Vbulletin 3.52

We also moved to our new 64 bit server.

At the time I write this you might be still using the old server of you may be using the new server as we are waiting for the DNS to propogate.

If you ping www.satelliteguys.us and the IP address you get is 69.16.208.148 then you are on the new server. (You should also be able to tell as its is FASTER. )

We are still working on things so if you see anything strange please let us know.

Welcome HOME to SatelliteGuys.US!

 

[Sean Mota]

I am seeing the new server and it is fast...

 

[Neutron]

Shouldn't that be 69.16.208.148? That's what I get when I ping satelliteguys.us

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes thats the new server.

Ler is doing some work on the old server.

 

[korsjs]

running very good here.

 

[BFG]

so we have 2 servers right?

And the databse is on the old one (which the html/php stuff was on two) but now were using this new server again just for html/php, like we originally planned right? So we're back to how we were supposed to go forward?

 

[LER]

nope, everything is on the new 64-bit opterons (if your getting the new IP).

 

[BFG]

ok so we're running on one server again. And is this an even new server or one of the 2 servers we had going?

 

[LER]

new server, and in a different place from the other 2.



(following the bouncing server).

LER

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

This server is as powerfull as the other two COMBINED with lots of room to grow.

 

[BFG]

so if logic follows you'll be putting in a request to cancel the other servers then. and this new server is not hosted by the planet?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

This is correct, you need to read the pub area more.

 

[BFG]

I did read your pub member cries, just didn't continue I guess to the point where this was the decision you actually made

 

[T2k]

Scott, may I ask what was the last reason? Why did you choose to leave The Planet? And where are you now?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Basically because they hosed us over and wanted us to pay to correct their mistake.

We moved to a better place on MUCH better equipment (64 Bit Dual Core CPU's, Raid 10 Drive config, 8 Gig of ram) for less cost per month.

I was very happy with ThePlanet until they did this to us.

I tried working with them but they wouldnt budge at all. It wasnt until I notified them that I was canceling service that they tried to working with me, but that offer was too little and too late.

 

[T2k]

Ah, I see. Are you confident in Liquidweb now? (I don't know them.)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes I did a full checkup on them and couldnt find any real complaints about them other then your standed administrative mistakes which every company has.

 

[riffjim4069]

Well, my avatar problem is fixed as you tell by the picture of Missus Riffjim4069, and the new server/software is spitting out search results faster than I can query the system. The improvements are very much appreciated!:

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The 64 Bit Processors and OS have made a HUGE difference!

I was telling the staff that on the old servers when I would import the database it would take close to 3 hours to get it imported, on the new server I was able to import the database in around 6 minutes.

I am VERY happy with this move and I haven't even tweeked the software yet for optimum speed.

 

[Stargazer]

They should have treated you right to begin with. If you had that problem with them once then you would have probably had problems with them in the future as well.
