ahuxham Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Have edugeek moved the hosting into Germany? Not sure, what is whois stating, and where are the nameservers resolving to? Name Servers are currently pointing to: remarks: rev-srv: ns1.navaho.co.uk remarks: rev-srv: ns3.navaho.co.uk I see what you mean, tracert indeed is showing alot of .de hops. Hosting now provided by Hetzner? Hmmm.. Look at the stats of the EQ4 root server: http://www.hetzner.de/de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/eq4/ Edited December 4, 2009 by ahuxham

Hope they are reliable. A Good, short number of hops from UK too - 9 vs. 7 for one of our UK hosted web servers, and 16 from one US site to edugeek, vs 17 to the same UK server. So from a non-scientific "ooh, I wonder" sort of testing methodology - pretty decent connectivity. Edited December 4, 2009 by tom_newton
featured_spectre Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 based on the hops from my machine, (I get 7 hops btw) it is based in germany, but thats not a bad thing as it loads faster for me now. Gotta love those efficient germans!

Dos_Box Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Yes, we've moved to a physical server with LOTS of RAM. The brownouts we've been having have been at peak times such as 9am, 10am (coffee break) 12 noon (lunch time) 1pm (our US members begin to come online). When this happend the server RAM fills up and leaves us needing to restart some services. Because of this we've moved to one of these now: Hetzner Online AG: Dedicated Server EQ 4 And as some of our Australian and NZ members have pointed out it has improved their use of EduGeek greatly. Anyway, Shaun has done an amazing job moving us over in a seamless way so that many of you have not even noticed until today as we moved at the beginning of the week Edited December 5, 2009 by Dos_Box

Edu-IT Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I am surprised there wasn't an announcement. Shaun has mentioned it in the server load thread. I suppose as long as it works, most of us aren't fussed.
ZeroHour Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I am surprised there wasn't an announcement. It was mentioned in the high load thread but I was waiting until I was sure everything was working out. It was planned for this weekend/Monday. 3
beeswax Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I think it's to Shaun's credit that it all went so smoothly. If he ever applied for a job elsewhere he'd have 20,000 favourable cv's.

Michael Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 15 hops for me, however I don't consider this a major problem. It is an excellent price considering the specifications. I think 'rip-off Britain' does really apply to web hosting. There's no way you could get a hosting solution at that price here. 49 euros = 44 pounds per month.
