You may have noticed the server has been having a few problems the last few weeks – slow points, outages and downtime. Well hopefully this will now be fixed. Last night the server was down for a few upgrades. Firstly, I had the operating system reinstalled; there may have been a problem before causing the system to crash. Secondly, I have added a second hard drive to the server. Now, the whole server is backed up automatically every single day – so in the event you have any little problems it will take a few seconds to restore the backup after contacting me. Lastly, I’ve bought an extra stick of RAM taking us up to 1.5GB, this was not necessary but I thought it’s best to have more than not enough. My pocket’s a little lighter, but well worth the investment in my opinion.

This is just a quick notice to tell you that the CPU upgrade on the server was completed earlier today. The downtime was just 9 minutes whilst we installed the new Central Processing Unit. This upgrade has been carried out in order to ensure optimum performance for all of our customers no matter how popular their sites get. The new CPU uses HyperThreading technology which allows twice the number of processes as previously available.

This is just a quick notice to tell you that the RAM upgrade on the server was completed earlier today. The downtime was just 7 minutes whilst we installed the new stick of RAM. This upgrade has been carried out in order to ensure optimum performance for all of our customers no matter how popular their sites get.
