Warvault Joins Acho Hosting

Posted on September 11, 2006 by Jonathan J. Reinhart

As of today Warvault has moved to Acho Hosting for its web hosting needs.  Why is this news, you ask, because it sounds boring.

The reason, besides giving some major promo to Acho Hosting who is our web host and sponsor for our podcast, is to announce downtime for Warvault.

The move to Acho Hosting will include downtime while the Warvault URL transfers to the new server plus time for DNS to propagate.  I won’t get into the technical side but after the Warvault URL moves it’ll take 24-48 hours for that information to travel around the globe.

During that time you may have trouble accessing Warvault.

What Does This Mean For Us?

It means a lot of things actually.  Without violating customer confidentiality, I can say that Warvault has upgraded to a top of the line hosting plan, for a fraction of the cost.  I am the Sales Department Manager at Acho Hosting and I assisted Warvault Owner, Angron, with the move in conjunction with Nikk Spiert who is the head tech guy at Acho.

Additionally, the top of the line plan affords Warvault a heap of bandwidth, which means even more of you can access the website.  Plus, Warvault gains a lot more space allowing Angron to implement many plans that he couldn’t before due to limitations from the previous host.

Lastly, the move to Acho Hosting provides as near to 100% uptime as we’ve ever seen.  This means that once Warvault is firmly on the Acho Hosting server that no matter what time or where you are you will be able to access Warvault 24 hours a day.

Warvault Surmounts Hack Attack

Posted on September 9, 2006 by Jonathan J. Reinhart

On September 6th we made a post titled “Warvault Goes Down, Hackers Triumph….or Do They?” in which we stated that Warvault suffered prolonged downtime because of hackers.

Today we are happy to announce that Warvault is up and running.  Warvault owner Angron found a security hole in a piece of software and was able to patch it up.  After that it was smooth sailing with a result of Warvault bouncing back in record time.

Be sure to vote for us at Warvault and see what Warvault can do for you!

TXG Tau For the Greater Good

Posted on September 9, 2006 by Jonathan J. Reinhart

I know you’re probably saying, “Hey, aren’t you collecting Tomb Kings for this?” Yeah, I am. However, I also have to finish my Tau army for 40k and figured why not include it here.

My Tau are more or less finished. I have about 4k of Tau before the Tau Empire codex came out. With the new codex I decided to upgrade my list and enhance it with some new additions from the Tau model range.

In US WD 316 (March 2006) on page 102 and 103 there are two examples of different tactics for using a Tau army. The first is a Gun Line with massed firepower. The second is Air Cavalry with lots of vehicles. I’m using the first tactic.

The only additions I need to make are:

  • 10 Kroot Hounds
  • 1 Krootox
  • 2 Sniper Teams

Battle for Medusa V Over – Victors Declared

Posted on September 9, 2006 by Jonathan J. Reinhart

Recently Games Workshop released the conclusion to its 40k Summer Campaign the Battle for Medusa V.

The conclusion states that, as suspected, the Imperial Guard and Space Marines win…yet again. Yawn

More interesting is the information that over 60 thousand gamers participated and played more than 92 thousand games to decide the outcome. That’s 1.5 games per gamer. Logistically this is impressive because the campaign was worldwide. Collating and keeping track of everything in such an endeavor is a nightmare. The coordinators deserve a round of applause for doing as good a job as they did.

Who Lost?
