Chris Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Good news everyone! TGTAP is now on it's brand new server in the UK. The hardware is a lot better and way more powerful, so everyone should notice an increase in stability and speed. If anyone has any comments on this or has found any bugs since the move then you can let me know in this topic. For those interested, the specs: 2x Quad-core Intel i7 E5530 (2.4GHz Gainestown) i7 CPUs 12GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM 2x 500GB drives in RAID 750GB backup drive 100Mbit uplink (possibly upgrading to 1Gbit in the future) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvas. Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Oh...Nice. The specifications are interesting too. Faster than before. Edited March 21, 2010 by Alvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't know about you guys, but recently the server's been crapping itself on me before the upgrade began. It feels way more quicker now, and each page I click which leads me to another page on this site is a lot more instant than it was before. Anyways, cheers for the heads up, Chris. Finally, a UK based server, not a foreign server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bossman Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I agree with everyone else, it's much faster now and loads quicker when I click to this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Good to hear, thanks for everyone's comments. As I said in the original post, if you do come across any problems or the server becomes slow or something, post here and let me know so I can look into it.

WRX22B1998 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 hmm its a little faster than before, now it doesnt timeout like it used to. but maybe there's slow ping response or something because when i click a topic or whatever, its like 3 or 4 seconds before it fetches the page, then starts loading it. another forum i go on thats hosted in the US i think, it loads much quicker. not complaining or anything just wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Chris Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Well, geographicaly I think Australia is closer to the US than the UK, so maybe it will have slower ping times. Nothing we can really do about that, but I'd advise you moving to Europe if you want it to load faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Weird, I see you use FlagFox too and it's showing the American flag... guess you must be extremely cached since we moved almost a week ago. Should be seeing the UK flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 WRX - your PC/ISP is visiting the old server still, rather than the new one. I have modified the DNS records on the old server, so you should now see the new server even if your ISP still uses the old nameserver records. To test this, visit this page. If you see a "404 Not Found" message, you're on the new server and everythings fine. If you see a page saying "old server", then you are still visiting the old server and need to wait for the cache to empty (I have put instructions on that page). If you really need to see the new server, you could switch to using OpenDNS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
