Site Move

I’m moving my site to a new server. It’ll be very slow until the move is complete (will likely take 6-12 hours for the DNS change).

Update: New server is running great… improving speed by a factor of 6 to 8. Most of you are seeing the old server, with only a couple dozen still seeing the old one. Hint: if the page takes more than half a second to load, you’re seeing the old server! :-D

  1. The Planet? That’s the last place I’d move a site TO. But hey, it’s your site…

    The Planet is where it was.

    A+ Hosting. Dedicated server (3.0GHz P4 w/HT, 2GB DDR RAM, 160GB HDD).

    Sadly it’s taking like 30secs. to load the page here.

    Yet:

    Dynamic: 0.220 seconds | 22 queries (0.027 seconds) | 148 users online

    Not my connection either. :(

    Just did a speed test and got over 8mbps so…

    Plus only site with issue I see atm…

    How does it compare with icdsoft? You like it better? How is their technical support response?

  8. Mark says:

    ICDsoft is shared hosting, this is a dedicated server. Different beast. I am tech support.

  9. Mark says:

    Will,

    Seems it was an issue with gzip compression. I turned it off and it sped right back up.

  10. JoeBruin88 says:

    Sounds expensive. Are you paying $149/month?

  11. Mark says:

    I’m splitting it with one other person. I’m paying $50 a month (I pay less because I get less traffic and because I’m administering the server free of charge).
