Our web hosting upgrade has completed.
Here is a recap of the benefits we will receive:
If you notice any bugs or features no longer working on forums/servers related to this update.
Post them below or in a bug report.
1 Side Effect
We use Cloudflare to protect our website from DDOS threats.
However, recently due to issues with Cloudflare and ISP's Telstra/Optus, our traffic is being routed to San Jose, California instead of Sydney, Australia before its sent to you.
This adds an additional 200ms-1second to each page load making it seem like the website is really slow when its really not.
Unfortunately, Cloudflares $20 plan does not fix this and their next tier (which does fix it) is $200 per month which is obviously out of our budget.
Anyway, we are hoping the ISPs actually partner with Cloudflare to fix this within the next month or 2.
Alternatively Cloudflare may bring out a cheaper plan which fixes this.
Really lame issue overall but out of our control.
PS: This isn't a new thing, just thought I mention it here, it was affecting our old setup as well.
Here is a recap of the benefits we will receive:
- DDOS attacks should be handled somewhat better now.
- MySQL server has more RAM/CPU to use (CSGO server MySQL usage should be very fast now)
- Web server has more resource in general, should no longer have slow periods/crash
- Various other nice improvements
