Hi all,

The box was recently taken offline for a few hours. The reason for the downtime is because of a VDS upgrade. NFO is currently holding a spring sale for their VDS packages, so I took advantage of it just before the next payment was due. For only a few dollars more than the current payment I was able to essentially double up the box's hardware.

The table below shows the comparison between what IJWTB was running on prior to today and what it is currently running on.

(The table plugin needs to be replaced or modified, so give me a sec)

Looks like I forgot to include a post when we switched from the VDS above to our previous dedicated machine.
Anyway, we've since switched from an older Xeon E3-1270 to a new E3-1270v5 due to the database corruption. The specs are listed before and give us a huge boost in read/write speed and cache space.

We've moved locations and IPs to a slightly upgraded box. I've also put down $99 up front to reduce the monthly cost, so the new server costs less than the old server.
