Recently, TDF has acquired a new dedicated server to better handle increasing traffic loads.
Some quickie tech specs:
What does all this mean to you? Better site performance at peak times, shorter downtime for maintenance, and faster page loads.Tech specs wrote:Old server:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 3.16Ghz (dual core - 2 threads at a time)
RAM: 4Gb
OS: CentOs 5.7 i686 (32 bit) standard
Hard Drive: 2x 340Gb Raid-1, and secondary 500Gb for backup
New Server:
CPU: Intel i7-870 2.93Ghz H/T (quad core w/Hyperthreading - 8 threads at a time)
RAM: 16Gb
OS: CentOS 5.7 x86_64 (64 bit) standard
Hard drive: 3x 1000Gb Raid-5
Over the course of this weekend, our server admin SpiritfireM will be migrating our websites over to the new server. All migrations will take place after midnight GMT -8:00 (Pacific time). The timetable will be as follows:
Friday into Saturday:
Doll Harem
Doll Album
Saturday into Sunday:
CoverDoll
Sunday into Monday:
The Doll Forum
Important note: As each site is moved to the new server, the site on the old server will have a new index page stating that the site is in migration and further navigation into the site will be disabled. The DNS for each site will be changed at the registrar to reflect the new site's location. The effect of this is twofold: First, it will let you know as the reader when your ISP's DNS has updated with the new site location, and two, it will prevent any new posts being made to each site during migration, as any posts made on the old site during migration would be lost. Generally it takes anywhere from 1 - 48 hours for DNS to update at most ISPs. If after 48 hours you are unable to see the new sites, please contact SpiritfireM via direct email at spiritfirem@dollforum.com.
Thank you for your patience and continued support,
TDF Management
