The server name is AUS-www.xgn.com.au-THU-NIGHTS.It's in a book/qual/race cycle. Jump on in numbers whenever you can, and let me know how it performs.There's always the option to scale up to a bigger server, but let's see how this basic, free solution performs.You can see where the server's up to by clicking here. « Last Edit: July 16, 2014, 07:57:45 PM by Wally » Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” Bird Administrator Hero Member Posts: 2321 Karma: -666 Ysu Re: New server - AUS-www.xgn.com.au-THU-NIGHTS « Reply #1 on: May 23, 2014, 09:07:56 AM » Nice! We can even leave this running all the time, and fire up a bigger one for the races - I've a hunch this won't be able to cope with 20ppl Hell, even windoze may throw a backflip at the low amount of memory available.p.s.You got there pretty quick, that's nice - only 12:15 for the last edit!

Good work, I noticed as I write this there are 2 users on the server... will drop in tonight for a few laps... is this a 'micro' instance?Certainly the first race I was in, the server behaved very well, even it is an overkill, if the instance is only running on race night, with a practice server on a lighter on running either 24/7 or prescribed hours, it will be cheaper than other servers we have had, with the exception of Wally's NetKar pro.

It roughly halves the price with a one-year heavy reserved instance (in this case, to $6.70).Along these lines, we could get a 3-year reserved instance, of m.medium (the 3.7GB one) one-off upfront payment of $370, and then $18.30/mo.That's effectively $28.5/mo. calculator:http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html « Last Edit: May 23, 2014, 11:02:35 AM by Bird » Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: New server - AUS-www.xgn.com.au-THU-NIGHTS « Reply #4 on: May 23, 2014, 11:43:20 AM » Why don't we just fire up a bigger race server on race nights for roughly a buck an hour, rather than a long term permanent server? That's what I was thinking. I'm going to try to jump on tonight, 8-ish for some laps on the micro server. Let's see if we can get a few people on it and see how the micro copes.

It won't be expensive however we slice it, I think.
