This is going to be a sullen news posting because it is, more or less, full of bad or disappointing information. No, we’re not closing shop. No worries there.

There’s 3 issues I’m going to discuss. They are Server Migration, Downtime, and Disappointments.

Server Migration

Our web host announced that they’d be undergoing a server migration because of problems with their old server farm. They stated that it would take place by October 15th. The server migration took place this weekend and resulted in some downtime, more on that below. Unfortunately, during the migration an error/accident happened at the old server farm that resulted in sections of Acho Hosting to be deleted. This included billing information, some client databases, and support information (i.e. whenever someone sends in a ticket asking for help).

The damage was contained and as of 20 minutes ago everything is up and running. The latest news can be found at Acho Hosting Support Center. The major downsides of the migration are the downtime and loss of databases and other information. We were mainly affected by downtime and loss of support information and databases. We don’t pay anything so no worries on that.

Positives of the server migration are increased security and features at the new server farm. The new servers are on the East Coast, which greatly benefits me and all New Englanders. Additionally they have double the memory up to 1GB and triple the hard drive space up to 160GB. Plus, the transfer rate has doubled up to a T1. This means you will get access to podcasts, postings, and our radio station (more on that in another post) much quicker. It also means the server will operate at peak capacity better without getting overburdened. Plus, the new server farm is much more secure than the old, and secure, server farm.

All told the migration is a success and the trials and tribulations are worth the gains. It may not seem like it at first but I assure you the ends are wonderful.

You read it correctly.  CWF is undergoing planning that will, if and when implemented, allow us to be an internet radio station.  We will be able to stream, live, all sorts of music for your listening pleasure.

We are working hard to be your one stop for gaming news and multimedia needs.  Unfortunately we don’t have more information at this time.  At least none that we can share without getting some cement shoes.  :P

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
