AdyCarter Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 We've pretty much outgrown our current server, which is slightly annoying as its paid for until next July, but its impossible to up the bandwidth allocation here so we're going to have to move. Theres no timescale for this as of yet as I havent even began to shop for a new host, but I figured I'd keep you all in the loop just incase we exceed our allocation here in the mean time. If all goes well there should only be an hour of two downtime during the move. Also if anyone knows any good web hosts that offer MySQL access, PHP, and around 20gb of bandwidth a month please let me know. I'll keep you all updated as I know more, and yes all posts, topics, EVERYTHING will be moved, none of this wiping malarky. If anyone is interested we're getting around 28,410 page requests a day on average and an average of 260 unique visitors per day, and thats excluding bots such as google et al. So we're seemingly pretty popular....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Forums will always be different to websites, Fujis. I wouldn't worry about it. People constantly check in to view new posts etc, it's much more immediate than reading one article per day like on MMHQ (and much less than that on MMC).

Yup as Danny says though forums are a much more "living" entity than a website, hence the insane amount of page views we get every day, a better comparison between site traffic is to go on unique, botless visitors, or just unique visitors if you can't filter out bot traffic.

Rad Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Eeek. I pop in quite a few times in a day. Didn't realise it'd have a detrimental effect on the Bandwidth though. Perhaps we should work out a shift system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 LOL, seriously dont worry about when you visit, our new server will give us 10 times the bandwidth we currently have. Last thing I want is people to feel they visit too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdyCarter Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Amusingly if I ever IP ban someone, thats all they get to see. Admittedly the odds of me ever doing that are pretty slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
