Maxman Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Jet Nation is moving. We are changing both Web Hosts and Servers. The reasons are simple, we will not settle. Tom and I are not 100% satisfied with the service we are currently receiving and we DEMAND excellence. There are multiple benefits to this move: -Much faster Server which is dedicated to JETNATION -Linux Operating System -We are doubling the amount of RAM in the Server...many more users can be online at once. -Much improved Data Center and Network Backup capabilities. -Our available Bandwidth is being increased by about 70%. -We have increased available drive space so we have much more room for fan photos and some items that are coming soon: Chat Room Download Section Player Interviews We have gotten lots of feedback saying that the current site is fast. We know it will get even faster after the move. Our web consultant told us this wasn't all necessary. He also told us it would take us like 7 or 8 months to hit 300 users! We might hit that before the draft. (We haven't even started advertising yet). The Web Consultant is good and he helped us a lot. But he underestimated what the Nation was capable of. For that, we THANK everyone of you for your support! We are not expecting any downtime with this move. But if it is needed we will keep you informed!

Maxman Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Too bad the Jets don't demand that type of excellence with Hermy. Herm is the new Webmaster. He said the new server will be in place by Wednesday. Expect it to happen in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best part: Courteousness Although you can use l33t speak exclusively, it is looked down upon in most forums and chat rooms. The best place to use l33t speak is in a brief expression of excitement, when you are just playing around or in a supreme example of your geeky prowess.

We selected one that has received the best reviews we found over the past 2 years. Much bigger data center as well. I have not worked with RackSpace in the past, so I am unfamiar with them.

I have worked with RackSpace for years (4?) after going through a slew of hosting providers including hosting it myself off a SDSL line. Rackspace provides some of the best support I have ever seen and they are very customer centric. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
