Issue with the server

The issue with our current host is that we do not have enough resources. We occasionally lock up simply because of natural traffic. I am looking for a permanent host and have made an order a few hours ago for a rent-to-own server that will cost $100 for setup and $70 every month thereafter. If we need more resources than what that offers, or if that falls through, I'll keep you up to date.

Until this is set up (hopefully it's set up tomorrow morning), there will be constant crashes.
 
Why not move it to the Dominican Republic or one of those little bullshit island countries where poker sites are hosted all the time? The ISPs that host poker and other gambling sites have to be pretty reliable and handle a fair amount of traffic.

Of course, they also attract a fair amount of DDoS and other fuckery but so do we.
 
Which simply means they won't be so put off by us like the frogs were, and may even be better able to handle that sort of thing than Linode, which shat itself and did nothing.

Linode shat itself and did nothing after it was the site of a number of the biggest Bitcoin heists in history.

I guess it's kind of unfair to blame Linode itself for the fact those sites were run by goddamn retards, but who cares about fairness here?

Fuck Linode, fuck the French. Just good luck with getting the site working normally again.
 
Thanks for keeping us all informed Null, the downtime is a pain in the ass but there's nothing you can do about it that you're not already doing. Taking on the extra costs is really heroic too, it's much appreciated. If only more people here donated to the Farms than they donated to Chris, the extra expense wouldn't matter.
