BADD NEWS
Well, here is some news for all of you. I just received this e-mail:
Dear Justin Weisman, This is a required service update, Action: Shutting down server, migrating to new servers. Reason: We are closing servers and VD1 network will be migrating to a new servers. Although during migration, we can not migrate free hosting accounts. We are NOT going down because we can't nolonger handle it, since a single server of ours is capable of holding 20,000 accounts and easily do 200 million hits/month with over 4000GB/server and a 10mbits connectivity/server. Thats not the case. We are moving into new more powerful servers. We were currently running Compag Pentium 3 with 1GB ram 40GB HD and AMD Duron 512MB ram 40GB HD. We will be moving into our new servers which are Pentium 4 1.7 GHz, 1GB ram, with 120GB HD. We want something that is pretty much more powerful then a regular pc. During this migration, our service may be down for several weeks. We appologize for the inconvienance. We will no longer offer free hosting or don't plan to until further down the road where our software has been optimized and we optimized use for multiple servers for free hosting. We don't always reccommend using free hosting, since you usually get what you pay for and since you pay nothing for it, you don't get much out of it. Within the past week, we seen over 1500 signups and 200,000 hits to our site. Even though we ran into some minor problems, it had no affect on server performance. Not one bit. Thank you for everyones input, this helps us if we plan to offer free hosting again. We truelly am sorry and hope to see you again in a few weeks. Virtual Domain One Owner, Shain
