YT Server Info This message is primarily meant for the admin, I am a pretty new member since I just got my yorkie 2 weeks ago but I figured I would inquire.
I know the server is hosted in a datacenter which I assume has 2 lines running into it in case one is cut, I know it can be tough to have a datacenter on 2 power grids to keep it up in case one goes down but I was wondering if it had that?
Also, do you have any sort of SLA with the datacenter? I tried to find the server specs and saw that you mentioned that you were leasing the server, had you ever thought of purchasing a server, in the long run it can be more affordable, I was wondering what the current specs of the server are and if you are sharing it with any other sites?
Also, I have read a little about hardware failures, most components in a computer have a very long MTBF except the hard drives, are you running and sort of RAID backups in your server? does the datacenter do any backups? A loss of data would really suck and I was just wondering.
Last, I am a member of another vbulliten site nasioc.com and there are 160k active members with 36k active and over 1 million threads and 20 million posts if you keep having trouble I could connect with you with the site admin of nasioc to try and work out some of the issues.
Just trying to help!!!
