Since opening our doors in early September we have been on quite a roller coaster ride. Our site has almost quadrupled in its bandwidth needs; our forums are expanding with more and more members every week in fact there is someone posting almost 24 hours a day. With the AGN down the road, and a ton of new features in planning and production and a highly skilled staff, this is only the beginning of our ride. PS hasn�t even come out yet! With this said, on to my announcement.
The bandwidth costs on my current host are skyrocketing. Even with the donations of our members it will be tough to continue paying the bill as we expand more and more. So I have done some research, and PSU is moving servers. We will be on our own, dedicated 2.2GHz server, the server is unmetered, what this means is we do not get charged more for the bandwidth we use. This will enable us to offer more services to everyone who visits. These services include live shout cast streams, FREE outfit hosting on our servers, more downloads and user interactive content. More details on new features will come soon.
This move will take place sometime the week of January 5-11th, most likely Wednesday. During this time there will be a forum and IRC downtime of approx 30-45 minutes, while the data is moved, and server records are updated. I will be posting more details as we get closer to transfer.
FYI, we will be going with XGamer.net hosting.
