We are all sick of it, the lag, the constant memory issues, the weird back end we can't touch in fear we will blow up the server. Well as of last night I have had enough, we are switching server hosts. I will continue to pay for the server we have for one more month to get everyone transferred over to the new one. I'll put your mind at ease and answer a few questions.
Q - Will we have a brand new map?
A - No, exact same map. I took a backup at 8:30pm est. As I write this it's being transfered to the new server.
Q - Will there be any downtime?
A - Technically no since the old server is still up you can still hang out/converse. However you will lose any current progress after 8:30pm est. Sorry there is no way around this.
Q- How long will this take?
A - Hopefully it will be ready by tomorrow afternoon.
Here are the old server specs:
3gb of ram
100mb connection (on one computer)
1-46 slots.
I paid 64.99 a month for this.
This server was good for awhile, but now it does not function well at all.
Here are the new server specs:
Ultimate Tier
Recommended for 1-100 Players.
4.7GB Dedicated RAM.
7GB .
SolusVM VPS Management Panel.
Dedicated IP - No typing ports.
100Mbit/s Uplink speed.
RAMDisk Powered.
Fully Managed - Free Mod & Plugin installation.
Includes Root & FTP Access.
For the absolute best of Minecraft Servers.
Monthly Payment; $51.95/month

As you can see we are paying less for a far greater server. I will post an IP address when it is ready. I have to install plugins and copy over the whitelist and such.
