We are getting a new server!

[Ralle]

The other day Ghan_04 sent me a link to some clearance deals by our current server host. They were selling a server with 16 GB of memory and dual 1TB hard drives.
The server was $10 less than our current system so I ordered it!

I think we will get access to the server on monday or tuesday. So expect some downtime on that day

Ahh, what a way to follow up your April Fools post. You rock.

 

[jim7777]

What can I say is:

hmm is your server will be yours forever? and ever?

 

[Ganondorf]

Great. What is there else to say.

 

[GIANT_CRAB]

All Hail Ghan_04 and Ralle, hail to thee, thane of hives?

 

[Ganondorf]

...And people kept complaining about Ghan_04 returning... This is a great thing, guys.

 

[General_Anon]

I never had doubts...

Well, the harddrives aren't needed much :T As I recall the entirity of the Hive could fit onto a large capacity USB drive.

Are they in RAID 0 or 1

 

[Dreadloch]

Prepare the troops pony lords....

Well this new server sounds fantastic!

 

[Magtheridon96]

lol
I know COMPUTERS with more than that xD xD

EDIT: Btw, how much did the original server have (RAM and Storage)

 

[The Panda]

Fantastic!

 

[aaron]

very very good, i do like the fact that you are trying to save money for the future of the hive.

The original was probably an early Pentium 3 or 4 under Ralles bed, probably 1-2ghz with 1gb of RAM. Don't know exactly though. The one before this one was an Athlon 64 with 2gb. Current is an i7 something with 4gb (originally was 2gb, but was unstable).


Also, servers ARE computers. And you don't need the top of the line shit to run a simple forum site and a knitting site.

Still think Nina's mittens are awesomes

Lol, way to go Ralle!

 

[Ghan_04]

Hive's current server is using approximately 100 GB of disk space, so that part is just a bonus - we were nowhere close to running out. The RAM obviously will be the big gain here. It will allow the database to have more room for caching, which should improve performance.

nah Ralle is not a thane, he's a tauren so lets just call em Chieftain.

Yeah one of them 128 GB ones.

Yeah well. 16 GB is enough.

It's mostly because I am getting that much extra RAM

 

[Black_meoonG]

How about all Resource here..Icons, Models, Triggers, Skins, Tutorials and any other things...???
Ralle..??

Those get moved over to the new server, obviously.

 

[Galagoz]

Very nice

Probably lol. i mean, the hive is not really saving THAT much from this xD, unless you count the build up, but yeah, RAM is good :3.

 

[jim7777]

yeah! RAM is in overpopulation!

 

[Arisaitou]

Ralle the awesomeness

 

[Twosocks]

Ralle the awesomeness

'Cept for when I saw the thing posted on April Fool's, I actually shat myself and had to change my underwear.

 

[Sorceress]
