new server

[Sasq]

well for those of you that missed it...
we changed hosting overnight.
welcome to the new digs, let me know if anything is broken

First time on, no problem. Second time on, I got a server error. Third try on OK again. Looks like you're now hosted in Brea, CA.

I got onto the Comcast network at Ashburn VA very well and each Comcast node at Maclean VA, Atlanta GA, Dallas TX, LA, CA slowed it down but the big bottleneck seems to be an unnamed node between Comcast LA and NewDream Networks at Brea CA with 100% packet failure at times.

Edit: got another server error 404 while posting above: it appears it went but it would not acknowledge it.

[Kruzin]

No probs from Wyo/Colo area.
Seems faster here...

[Dr Mordrid]

^^^^----after using it a bit, what Kruzin said.

[Sasq]

oddly enough, seems faster here too.
sad really, price much cheaper - by a factor of stoopid amounts

though cash gifts to help replenish my bank account greatly appreciated ^^

[Brian Ellis]

It is certainly no slower here, maybe faster. Maybe the two glitches I saw were because one of the DNSs hadn't caught up with the move. Seems stable now.

Because The Planet generally sells crappy servers at crazy prices. Then instead of giving you fast network performance and charging by the GB they throttle your network connection to 10 Mbps under the guise of "unlimited" bandwidth. The end result is a "server" that is slower than most cheap desktops with piss slow networking.

Most shared hosting these days are put on pretty good hardware with unthrottled Gb network connections. Sometimes they are on "cloud" or web farm like configurations on top of that. As long as your site doesn't get too big it's a pretty good deal with a good host.

But that's just my opinion.

Site works fine from East Coast USA.

[KRSESQ]

OK from the center of North America. Very good in fact.
