Server upgrade

I'm currently setting up a new, more powerful server for Craftland
Most of the setup work is done by now.
In the next 2 days I will have to shutdown Craftland to complete the migration.
Then the server will be down for several hours to sync the database and worlds
and update the DNS entries.
Nothing will be reset. All worlds, all data will be transferred!



More details soon!

Specs of the new server:
- CPU: Intel Xeon E5-1650v2 (6 Cores, 3.9 GHz)
- Memory: 128 GB RAM
- Harddisk: Hardware RAID LSI 9271-4i Cachevault 1 GB 3x 2 TB SATA3 6Gbps
- Datacenter: Gravelines, France, Hoster is OVH
- Bandwith: 500 Mbit/s Guaranteed

For comparision the old server specs:
- CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1245 (4 Cores, 3.30 GHz)
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Harddisk: Software RAID 1 with 2x 3TB Hard Disks
- Datacenter: Falkenstein, Germany, Hoster is Hetzner
- Bandwith: 200 Mbit/s Guaranteed

I will so be at a loss for those two days but I am so glad we are upgrading. Please let us know the days it will be down. I don't think I have missed a day of Craftland since I started. Thank you so much for this great server. :thumbsup:

Can't wait, the server will be able to process much faster now! 16 gigs of RAM to 128... damn, so much money was spent on this.

More than double. Like almost triple for the first 5 months, then it decreases.

Well, anyway, we should focus on advertising and things like that, more players = more donations. Soul's ad has done a good job, we actually had about 56 players yesterday and today in the morning and afternoon.
