[quote=zixianna]-Ohh and how hard is it to manage an "unmanaged" server?- If you're asking this question, then you want a managed solution, if at all possible. Are they switching you from Managed to Unmanaged, or is it just a financial choice on your part? Honestly, this right here is the stuff of nightmares to me, and one of the biggest reasons I have NOT been looking forward to the online version of Portal/Analyst. Downtime and the amount of extra server load this might mean (have you looked into how much extra bandwidth is going to be used? Do you truly understand how obsessive some of us are? *lol* ), is one more unpredictable point of failure to worry about.[/quote] Yeah problem is, my host gave me a "shared plan" which is managed but I'm allowed quite a ridiculous amount of resources so it's like a semi dedicated server. But under this new company, i probably wont be allowed to do that anymore which means i gotta go to a real VPS and alot of it is unmanaged. As for BW, that wouldnt matter. It's more of a CPU but seeing how malling is slowly dying, i dont think it would be much of an issue. Ohh and tried sunnyneo's host and jellyneo's host. They both send this site to a crawl since we have alot of MySQL queries ----------------------------- [color=purple]Contrary to popular belief, the Irish and I are not married[/color]

haha I;ve done it before. The major one was in 2008 and thats when we had about 1200 users and an alexa rank of like 5 million. The current alexa rank is like 800k, users at about 7000 and over 50,000 files on the server. Yikes :P But maybe managing a server wont be as bad :P After all, when i started this site, i knew nothing about php haha ----------------------------- [color=purple]Contrary to popular belief, the Irish and I are not married[/color]

The servers are currently down right now. If you can access it, it means the changes have already been made at your location, or it's still pending. Either one haha. the old server is gone now
