Database server change by IGC on Thu Apr 23rd, 2009 - 02:52 pm

Hello everyone,

As Charlie and I had discussed, we are transitioning to a new database server to see if this helps the load and speed of the site.

Using one server for the information (database) and another one for the data (images) should speed things up and balance the load.

I just moved the database to the new server, and will be testing it for a week.
The database host, offered a 1 week trial (without me asking) to see how things work and then I could decide to buy their 1 year hosting service.

Let me know if you notice anything strange or if you notice an improvement...

Right now everything seems faster, but since we had the "Maintenance" notice up, I think there are a few less users than usual. So please, let me know what you think.

Thanks

From what I'm seeing it seems it still takes one/two seconds to start loading, but once that starts, it seems a lot faster to finish up...

We have this whole week to see any changes, but as far as we are concerned, moving the database somewhere else can only but help, since the site was quite slow since the last move...

I'd hate to move again, but it is even more annoying to have the site being so slow.... It is better if it is just you and me being annoyed by one more move, than everyone because the site is unusable! xD

yeap... now that we have all the users it seems about the same...

we're trying something else this week, so we'll see if that works better, that's why I've closed up the uploads and validations for the time being...

Well... It seems the loading speed became faster, but not that fast.. it can be improved though...

We've just changed the data server as well... we are back in the Canadian server... Since the database is now hosted in a different place, we thought that we would not have the same load problems we did before, and this server seems to be faster than the VPS one.

Let me know if you notice any changes today...

PS: The dates seem be going crazy (at least for me)....
