New host

[mick88]

Server will be now hosted at  54.214.21.188:9500
It's currently open for VIPs only and it may take time to log in at first due to ongoing database maintenance. Should be ok tomorrow.

It was laggy when I was online earlier. Server had 4% packetloss and I had about 6%. Hopefully that fixes itself over time

hopefully it will be better once database is settled. was on just now and commands are sluggish, that will get better with time I guess.. dont be surprised if/when you get on there and none of the commands work, or they are just really slow to respond

[Matias]

oined it and got desynced after few seconds :/
Hopefully it will be fully working without lag tomorrow, thanks mick

I was unable to come over past days, anyway. What's the new host called? Will it be forever, I mean, It's done with Volt, right? And, if this one works great the main one will be hosted there?

The new host is Amazon.com web services (I think). Big company = giant DDoS protection. In theory.

IP address shows it's a Elastic Compute 2 server (EC2), which hosts reddit, Netflix, Dropbox, PS3's Uncharted servers and Ubisoft. It's quite right to say it has good DDoS protection... It also appears to be a Windows server. It could be possible that it's a gameserver host using EC2 as a server node instead of using their own hardware, but for some reason I doubt it.

Mick, make sure you close off port 3306 (mysql) to everything but Volt's webserver and perhaps your IP address range, and enforce a password lockout policy on Terminal Services.
