New servers are coming!!

New servers are coming!!

Faster faster faster

As the site continues to grow in traffic we always end up with performance issues trying to handle it all.

So we've bought some new servers which should be going up within the next 4 weeks.  They're MONSTERS. Holy cow.  SMP Dual Core with both redundant RAID and RAID for performance (a lot of hard drives there).

We also increased our bandwidth by an additional 100 megabits but it'll be a bit before we are fully exploiting this new bandwidth level.

So stay tuned, changes are acoming..

I understand that there are six hard disks, running under RAID 10. The CPUs are the fastest dual-cores we could buy.


The beasts are coming .... :O

a few have mentioned long loading times , perhaps if you upgraded to 1mbps BB or faster instead of being on 28k dialup you'll find things would improve some "cue mutley laugh"

I'm on a 8Mbit line and I still get errors and unresponsive loadings of the site. Some things aren't about the bandwidth.

if your connection is to slow .. then things wll load slowly or time out .. if the connection speed of the site you are trying to view is to slow or if the sites traffic is more than the connection can handle,you will get time out errors and such....

WC's traffic in the last 2 years has overcrowded their server's and connection capabilitys at times .more often lately.. they are working on new servers and stuff to help deal with the recent traffic surge. please be patient..
