AoV successfully moved to new server!

For the past 2 days I've been working on the migration and glad to see that everything went very smoothly.

Today at 8:00PM ET when the server rebooted, the IP address was changed in all login servers (TC1, old server, and new) to point to the new server, and the data was transfered over before it was started.

The new server is hosted in a VM on a dual xeon dual core box (total of 4 cores) with 1GB of ram allocated to it, and another 1GB allowcated to the host OS which is Linux. I will soon move my websites to this server as well to consolidate everything.

We now have a 100mbps uplink instead of 10mbps, and 2500GB of bandwidth instead of 1500GB but those wont matter too much as we were using a very small faction of those resources.

I hope no one experiences lag but so far it looks good.

Very nice. Hopefully this will fix some issues I've heard about other people lagging. Of course people in Europe and stuff will probably still have lag, but still.

It's been about a day on the new server, just wanting to get a followup of how things are, better ping, less lag?

Honestly I don't expect there would be a huge difference, but just curious.

I also hope the server can take on more load as I'll be giving it more, soon.

The Linux front end is not there only for fanciness and security.

Guess the 100mbps is in fact making a difference for those peak times. Though I've never actually seen it go past 5% utilization when we were on 10mbps lol.
