Server Move Completed!

W1zzard · Sep 12, 2007, 09:31 PM

We have moved to a new host with new servers. This should result in improved page load times. If you spot any broken features please let us know. Thank you!

Ben Clarke · Sep 12, 2007, 09:32 PM

Ah, exact same time I posted my question about it. I hate it when that happens

Steevo · Sep 12, 2007, 09:38 PM

Will we have more bandwidth to burn baby?

W1zzard · Sep 12, 2007, 09:43 PM

got faster servers to burn .. from 1 box with 2gb to 2 boxes with 4 gb each

kwchang007 · Sep 12, 2007, 09:46 PM

Why the url change?

Steevo · Sep 12, 2007, 09:47 PM

Waiting for the DNS move.

maybe we're on a backup server while the main server is being updated?

W1zzard · Sep 12, 2007, 09:51 PM

no the main (old) server will be disconnected and the two new servers connected .. it takes a while for the dns to propagate the new ip addresses

Huh, ok got a nice little message to clear my dns so mine's ok....I think.

freaksavior · Sep 12, 2007, 09:56 PM

JacKz5o · Sep 12, 2007, 10:04 PM

Nice

Hope the move goes smoothly.

W1zzard · Sep 12, 2007, 10:11 PM

its looking very good now .. anybody see problems on the site?

PVTCaboose1337 · Sep 12, 2007, 10:22 PM

I see that it is...

www1.techpowerup.com...

Steevo · Sep 12, 2007, 11:14 PM

I see a problem. I am still a peon with no moneys, or free hardware.

JacKz5o · Sep 12, 2007, 11:47 PM

The image uploading problem that I MSNed you about is the only one I have experienced so far. Everything else seems to be working great

Mussels · Sep 13, 2007, 04:02 AM

it does seem to work faster here. Not that TPU was ever slow, but it is a bit snappier.

effmaster · Sep 13, 2007, 04:07 AM

Could this have anything to do why i was contiinuously losing my signal while on techpowerup earlier this afternoon

W1zzard · Sep 13, 2007, 06:47 AM

losing signal?

CBOT · Sep 13, 2007, 07:31 AM

Same here.

Very Slow Load and i must reload the Site 2 times to see him .Or the Site was Blank, nothing to see and than must Reload before it works.

Befor Server change it was Really Fast and all OK

but now

.

Frederik S · Sep 13, 2007, 09:29 AM

Page load times 5 x faster here, must have better routing to the new server host :P. On average it take 1.5 seconds to load a page including the "Review" and "Articles" pages, which is really nice.

OnBoard · Sep 13, 2007, 09:50 AM

Kinda a broken feature. Now that new servers are up I can't get that little techpowerup logo (that red power button) to show up in my bookmark bar. I only use those icons there, so my daily sites fit there better. Oh and Firefox is the browser.

All I had to do previously was drag&drop a page there, then open it from the newly created link and the little logo was there. Somehow it doesn't work anymore and just deleted the old !.

I'd add it manually if I'd knew where to do it, but don't know the name of that link picture, so google is no help either. TY in advance if someone knows

EDIT: did it manually with this add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3176
but it's not looking good and there are white borders around it

Sasqui · Sep 13, 2007, 12:20 PM

Yesterday I noticed a few moments where the TPU wouldn't load, then was slow later. This morning, it seems to be really screamin' Sweet.

Jimmy 2004 · Sep 13, 2007, 02:20 PM

Very nice and quick here

WarEagleAU · Sep 13, 2007, 03:19 PM

I had some problems with the pages loading in both IE7 and FF latest edition, before the move. Afterwards, its super snappy and quick and....the little circle thingy doesnt keep moving when a page is done loading, like it did before.
