Neowin.net Down! by Dane on 02-28-2004 at 11:42 PM

Neowin.net is currently down.  The first time I tried accessing it I was shown a "404" Error on Port Communications' Website, after that it was just "The page cannot be found".

Yeah, thought id tell every1.

Works fine for me :undecided:

They are changing server, so maybe that is having some effect?

* dotNorma thinks of Neowin banning Dane :tongue:

Nah , they were updating the server if you look at the news. It seems to be fine now though :)

If you are reading this then your DNS has not yet updated to our new server, this should happen between now and 48 hours. These are the new specs against the old:

Dual 2.8Ghz Intel Xeon Processors - from Dual 2.4Ghz Intel Xeon Processors
3GB ECC Registered Ram - from 2GB ECC Registered Ram
Dual 80GB SATA HDD - from Dual 75GB SCSI-3 HDD
2000 GB Bandwidth - from 1200GB Bandwidth

    * RedHat Enterprise 3.0
    * 100% SLA Guarantee
    * Urchin Statistics
    * Veritas Tape Backup
    * FloodGuard™ - DDOS mitigation
    * RLX Total Control Management
    * Gold Managed Services

We are still in the process of configuring the server to handle Neowin, so the first couple of days may see high loads while we get that sorted. The upgrade has come from an increasing demand on Neowins resources which makes us happy because we must be doing something right - after 3 1/2 years online. Its amazing to think we came from virtual hosting with a 20GB monthly bandwidth limit!

Neowin will of course continue to answer demand and growth with expansion which brings me to conclude this post with a very big thank-you to everyone who supports Neowin by not blocking the ad banners which pay (in full) for our server and allows us to stay online.

So on behalf of the Neowin Team, Thanks and we hope you continue to enjoy Neowin.

RE: Neowin.net Down! by Jeronimo on 02-29-2004 at 04:40 PM

I have been trying to find out the new IP for a while and I can't find it. Its either not propogated as far as me yet, or the site is actually down for some reason :)

Anyone out there have any help? I'm hoping the new Feb update of AutoPatcher is out :)
