Switching DNS, and activating website on my home server soon.

will this affect the vent server at all?

Post by **Akira** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:11 pm

It shouldn't, nothing yet anyways. I think Vent is on the game server, which either I can hopefully somehow keep hooked up here for free, if not, I'm hauling it to home connection as well. (most likely the case)

It will remain up and running either way.

Website switch is complete, running from my server at home now. Fun stuff. All due to the possibility that I'm being hired at a new job this week, and can't afford to pay $50/month to my current employer to host my 5-6 websites.

website speed seems alright!
I'm curious how well the game server will do on it though!
I wish I could talk the man in charge at my work to put in some kind of fiber internet so I could host the thing here in Cali, but I can't see that happening for some time to come!

Hi Akira, let me propose an idea - please let me know if you think
it will work.

1. Webhosting. Separate this from game hosting. You already have
a PC for webhosting. Or if you want we could expand my
http://www.campquake.org or if Neo agrees, http://www.sctf.net to host the
bulletin board and fileage. It seems reasonsable that whichever is
used, you should continue to have have godlike admin access. If
you pick campquake.org, it will be free to the clan forever as promised
earlier, or until I get fired from Cisco

2. Games on the old server. 50 Canadian sounds pretty good!
If your old boss will let you colo a server, it might be worth it!
Someone who supports a server should be given the Clan title
"CotC Knight" or similar. Suppose the clan assesses $10 per
game server, for a max of 5 games on the server. I know one
clannie who is ready to step forward to pay for at least 1 or 2
of the following servers:
Q1 SCTF, Q2 DM, Q2 Lith, Loki's Minions, Weapons of Destruction.
Other Knights can step up to support their favorite games,
like CS-Source-hacked, Battlefield-1969-Kent State, or whatever.

Anyway let me put this forth as a motion. If there is any
interest, first from Akira, then from others, we can discuss
further..

Can you host the game server at Cisco??

I firmly believe that if we pay to host the game server, then we should pay to have it in a more populated area in order to gain more traffic. More traffic = a higher recruitment rate. God knows we need that right now!
Remember when Yeehaw had his set up with low pings? That server was one of the best recruitment tools we've had since the Quake days!
Where the server is at now, it doesn't see alot of traffic because it doesn't show up at the top of enough people's ping list.

BTW, I think this thread should probably be moved to a private forum at this point.

On leaving here, I'd have to see if I can somehow keep the game server here at no cost, or minimum cost. My work unfortunately charges $200-$500 per month for a co-lo server! If they want to charge me full amount, then the server comes home even if temporary.

My connection should be ok for it. 5Mb DSL connection, problem is the upstream on DSL is capped at 800K. We'd have to see.

I have 10mb cable with a 1mb upstream at my house also. Just another option...

I can always ship the box back to you if we need to do so.
