Rapid Hosting

Since October 2007 we’ve have been using the Equinix data centre and it has been a fantastic ten months.

However in the best interests of all our clients we will be moving to a new data centre in Brisbane, at this stage close to or around the 20th of September.  We will release another update closer to the date with full details on the move.

At this stage, we are estimating that your service will not be interrupted for more than approximately 5 hours. This time is of course, massively over-exaggerated.  We hope we’ll ensure the smallest amount of downtime and interruption possible during the move of your account.  The transfers will commence around 2am that evening.

Some of the benefits will include server specifications roughly double that which we have now (from Dual Core to Quad Core) and 2GB of Ram to a huge 4GB of Ram.  This means even FASTER speeds than we’re getting now.

We’re also getting an upgrade in data connectivity - roughly ten times the bandwidth pipe we have at the moment, connecting to AAPT, Optus and UECOMM (UECOMM then connect to a range of local providers including Telstra), even though at this stage we’ve never had connectivity problems. “Touch Wood”

And the best part is - we’re keeping our prices fixed at their current rate!  (Good news right? You bet!)

If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me personally.

Cheers,
