At long last, we've gotten external hosting. At Granger's recommendation, your donation money has gone to Hetzner, and a server on a 100 Mb/s line has been prepared for our use.
Due to this, I'll be bringing the game down and disabling registrations tomorrow to transfer the game data, homepage and, eventually, the forum data to the new server. There's quite a bit of data to be transferred, and I don't know in advance just how long it will take.
Those of you who edited your hosts (Is it hosts.txt on Windows?) while the DNS was down a year ago will probably want to remove those modifications, as some domain names will change.
For those curious, the new server is Hetzner's EQ 6 model. It will obviously improve the bandwidth-related problems and remove the 32-bit VM crashes, and it will be interesting to see how it affects game performance, and how 64-bit pointers will change the server's memory usage.
I think that's all. As an aside, Jorb will be able to surf the interwebz and download pr0n again, but I hardly think that's relevant to anything.
