I am curious to know where WHT is hosted and what the spec is. It seems to me that I have no problem viewing this site everytime.

Why? so you know where *not* to go? :D (ok so i couldn't help it, WHT goes down momentarily like 20x a day it seems, but its due to size im sure).

:D

Yep, it's hosted at www.voxel.net but WHT just has problems because of it's size. They're going to a new server in DV2 I believe.

DV2? Lol, you mean Robert is moving WHT to a server located in a data center that a competitor uses (eServers.biz)? I know he said he's upgrading to new, faster servers but he actually avoided the question of where the servers will be, in the post he made:

I probably butchered the configuration but it is a SMOOTH setup. Alan

howd he avoid the question? "the other nic to the main EV1 network" seems fairly clear to me.

Ahh, sorry, I mis-understood that part :)... there we go, it's located in at Ev1.

Pardon me if I'm misunderstanding further, but... Is Voxel owned by RackShack? I've always heard that RackShack owns WHT, so I was a bit surprised that it's not hosted there.

Can someone enlighten me?

Voxel is not owned by rackshack. Wht was bought by Rackshack from Matt, at that time matt hosted it with voxel for free (ads, sponsorship). So when Rackshack bought it, i believe they have enough resources to run it on their own network :eek:

whatever you'r saying, it's still hosted and sponsered by voxel.net
sure rackshack has the ressources, but hey. never touch a running system, right? :D

Yes, those times when it goes down seem to be only related to the server being hit really hard during peak viewing times (something that is corrected now), not due to voxtel or NAC.

I know :D, it's just funny how often it did go down, sometimes like 10x in a row, a tad frustrating if you're trying to post :D, hopefully rackshack tossed it on some monster of a server (quad xeon, 4gb ram, 3x36gb 15k scsi raid 5 or something like that :D).
