Nova’s CPU Usage

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

You can see for yourself how much the improvement helped. You’ll see the CPU Usage spiked during the file transfer and now it’s running lower than ever before.

Nove 30-Day CPU Usage

Enjoy the service!

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

This server will remain online through April 8th for those who require any files still resident on the server.

Migration Completed - New Nova is now LIVE!

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

The migration has been completed!

As of about 1:15am (EST) your website is now on a new server with RAID-10. You should notice a faster, more responsive website.

If you are missing a file or email, you can login to the old server and download it. Tentatively the old server will be kept online through March (it will be recycled April 1st, 2008).

Old Server FTP IP: 207.45.186.74

Old Server cPanel login: https://207.45.186.74:2083

Old Server WebMail Login: https://207.45.186.74:2096

Nova RAID Migration Tonight

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

There’s only a few accounts remaining to transfer on Nova, so we should be able to get this completed tonight. I’ll schedule this for 1:00 AM (EST) and total downtime should be no more than 30 minutes.

Nova’s Files are still copying

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

There really is no status change…

All the files are still copying, and it looks like this will take several more days, running 24/7.

Let me rephrase… I’ll update this blog when the file copy gets close to completion. And then I’ll update this blog frequently during the migration.

Nova RAID Migration

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Your server, nova.acenet-inc.net (’Nova’), will be swapped out with a new server. The new server will be using RAID-1O instead of RAID-6. You can look forward to a much faster website… two enterprise web hosting servers have already went through this and the feedback has been breathtaking. Server performance metrics are just as impressive. This isn’t hype — you can expect your website to be faster very soon.

Right now all the data on your server is being copied to the new server. Be warned: service could be a little sluggish during this massive file migration. But… This short term grief will provide long term relief (I stole that slogan from a highway contruction sign). Due to the amount of data on this server the file migration could take a couple of days.

Stay Tuned… this blog will be updated frequently
