Accounts On Gold Server Moving To Platinum Server

To serve you better in a more secured environment, we'll be moving all accounts on Gold server to Platinum server, starting from 18 May 2005.

There will not be downtime, all sites will perform as usual.

For domains that were registered by us, we'll update DNS from our side, clients do not have to do anything.

For domains that are not under our control, we'll email account owner new DNS information so that clients can update DNS themselves. When you receive such email, please update DNS asap. Note, do not update anything until you receive email from us.

If your site is on Gold server and you experience problems, please open support ticket or email us.

Sites on other servers will not be affected. To find out which server your site is on, read this post.

Migration in process.

Update 27/05/2005: Migration complete smoothly. We've mannually sent emails to all clients who need to update nameservers. Old nameservers will stop working next month. If your domain was on Gold server and you are still using old nameservers, please change to new nameservers as instructed ASAP. Otherwise, your site will be down next month.

What's This Blog For?

This blog was set up to keep our clients informed on latest updates of our servers.

Normally we make annoucements (maintenace, news, updates, etc.) to clients via email. However, we have to think of urgent case as well. For example, if server goes down, that would be busiest time for us , troubeshooting and repairing. The first priority in such situation would be to bring server up asap, instead of anwsering phonecalls, replying emails, explaining to clients.

And if the server that our own domain is on goes down, we cannot send/receive emails at all.

But we understand that clients must know what's happening to their site, especially if it's down. That's why we set up this blog to keep clients informed.

We will post and update server specs such as Apache version, PHP version, MySQL version, software upgrade, etc.

If any server goes down, we'll post latest update here as well so that clients would know what's going on. If you see maintenance/troubleshooting going on, please forgive us for not being able to answer your calls or emails while we're working on it.

Since this blog is not hosted on our server (blogspot belongs to Google, BTW), the chance that both this blog and our own site are down at the same time is next to impossible. Another good thing is, we can post updates anywhere, anytime.

So, please bookmark this blog. If you find something strange on your site, check it out here first.

How Do I Know Which Server My Site Is On?

In order to see if there's anything going on to your hosting account, you need to know which server your site is on.

Here's how to find out which server your site is on:

Go to http://www.dnsstuff.com/ , do a ping to your domain name (3d one in right colume), you will then see which IP address your site is on.

If your site is on IP between 203.175.163.74 - 203.175.163.78, your site is on Silver Server.

If your site is on IP between 203.175.163.98 - 203.175.163.102, your site is on Gold Server.

If your site is on IP between 203.175.163.82 - 203.175.163.86, your site is on Platinum Server.

If your site is on IP between 203.175.163.178 - 203.175.163.182, your site is on Tina Server.

If your site is on IP between 70.84.42.132 - 70.84.42.142, your site is on Ulysses Server.
