Neowin Server Upgraded

Advertisement (Why?)

If you are reading this then your DNS has updated to our new server. These are the specs:

Dual 2.8Ghz Intel Xeon Processors - from Dual 2.4Ghz Intel Xeon Processors
3GB ECC Registered Ram - from 2GB ECC Registered Ram
Dual 80GB SATA HDD - from Dual 75GB SCSI-3 HDD
2000 GB Bandwidth - from 1200GB Bandwidth

RedHat Enterprise 3.0
100% SLA Guarantee
Urchin Statistics
Veritas Tape Backup
FloodGuard™ - DDOS mitigation
RLX Total Control Management
Gold Managed Services

We are still in the process of configuring the server to handle Neowin, so the first couple of days may see high loads while we get that sorted. The upgrade has come from an increasing demand on Neowins resources which makes us happy because we must be doing something right - after 3 1/2 years online. Its amazing to think we came from virtual hosting with a 20GB monthly bandwidth limit!

Neowin will of course continue to answer demand and growth with expansion which brings me to conclude this post with a very big thank-you to everyone who supports Neowin by not blocking the ad banners which pay (in full) for our server and allows us to stay online.

So on behalf of the Neowin Team, Thanks and we hope you continue to enjoy Neowin. :)

I'm glad I saw this IP address before the old address stopped working for me. Thanks xStainDx Now have it in my hosts file.

How have you edited your hosts file? I've got all this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
69.93.217.132 neowin.net
69.93.217.132 www.neowin.net
69.93.217.132 http://www.neowin.net
69.93.217.132 http://neowin.net

And it don't make a bit of difference.

What have you entered in your hosts file? And doesn't it make you able to use the forums?

Can get into the forum, but can't browse any threads now

ThePlanet's nameservers appear to be dead. And, when I could get them to respond, they were still pointing everyone to the old server.
