Current server hosting i4memory.com etc is old and running low on disk space etc so I decided it's time to upgrade to a new server. Just as well as i4memory.com is starting to take off traffic wise with nearly a constant 20-40% monthly increase in visitors every month

Old:
single Intel P3 1.2ghz Tualatin cpu
512MB memory
60GB IDE hdd

New:
Intel Pentium D 820 2.8ghz dual core 2x1MB
1GB DDR2 memory
2x 200GB SATA hdds
1200GB/month bandwidth

The move will most likely occur this weekend or early next week

So guys if you can't access i4memory.com for a while you'll know why

Well guys have to move the transfer ahead a bit as i miscalculated the old server's next payment date which is in 9 days time.

So i want to have all sites moved over to the new server within this 9 days timeframe.

To ensure that the database is in sync with the new server, I will be temporarily closing i4memory.com forums for 3 days from Saturday Nov 12th to 14th and reopen on Tuesday Nov 15th, Australian Eastern Standard Time.


Update: Nov 12, 2005: 11:39AM AEST

i4memory.com has successfully moved to new server, just waiting on domain to propagate properly.

But I realised there's no reason not to open the forums on the new server and just keep old server's forum closed.

So i4memory.com is now officially reopened on new server

Enjoy folks

Nice one George/eva, keep up the great work

Supprised you didn't go the dual core opteron though

ArcTan

wow didn't know we had that much traffic
where's it's being hosted? a whois doesn't bring up much other than the nameserver being i4web

eva2000

web host, Dedicatednow.com doesn't offer dual core opterons only dual opteron 246 s940 cpus but would cost a bit more than i'm willing to pay right now in hosting costs i.e.

Intel P3 1.2ghz tualatin = US$129/mo
Intel Pentium D 820 2.8ghz dual core = US$180/month
Dual Opteron 246 s940 cpus = US$285/month

Maybe because intel are practically giving these 2.8D's away

ArcTan

not bad
I find the speeds pretty good as well
almost as good as aussie hosted servers

the _rick

cool.

give us a heads up before the change over.

Well been working on moving data over to the new server, looks like we're on track for i4memory.com's data to be moved on this weekend coming

Alot more disk space to work with
