Server speed problems, and more bandwidth, comming soon
So, the website has been running slow for the last while. its a mix of it sitting on a machine that is quite overloaded, and has a serious lack of ram. Well, hopefully the problem will be solved soon. I am looking at Dedicated servers from a company called OVH who are managing to offer me a Dedicated 64bit server, running Windows 2003 Server Standard, with a Gig of ram and 100mbs connection for less than some providers are offering shared hosting for. And this is not VPS! Its a FULL DEDICATED SERVER! ok, it only has a Celeron Processor (Quoted as either a Celeron 220 or Celeron D) and i would have liken the option of Windows Server 2008, but for the price, i am not complaining too much! It takes a while to setup the machine, but once thats done, i will update you with move details.

Thanks Steve B. there is no contract with OVH, so if all goes to pot, i can always pull out. My cuttent hosting provider is me. Server is sitting in the room right beside me. If OVH done work out, i think i will be taking the site back in house and moving servers around here...
Cool - So your media center article, the thing that always kills me about using a full computer for something I might watch movies on is the dang fans. Hate the white noise they make, I always need to crank up my speakers. What do you think? Am I a freak?
no fully agree. thats why my next post on it (due this weekend) will talk about the amp and speakers i am looking at. and also the headphones. very important!

www.webhostingtalk.com/.../showthread.php - I'd be careful Tiernan. Not really worth going from one crappy host to another. I work here - www.servepath.com. Here are our discount machines if price is a concern: www.servepath.com/.../special_offers.
Seriously man, don't do it. Places like OVH play the bandwidth saturation game. If anything go server beach or something. At least they aren't terrible.
