Hi all,
Just a quick msg to let you know that tweakedhosting.com and I will be upgrading the site servers and some of the backend to help improve page loading times and server usage..
At the moment we currently transfer around 1TB of data everymonth on the HQ's, so we are tidying up our infrastructure for the future..
Sorry for any inconvenience, but as you all know, we plan to be online for many years to come.

So far so good! xbox-hq and 360-hq are both running the database off the second private server. Seems nice and smooth so far! _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

Preliminary main server load is 2/3 less on average now. That is quite an improvement. Still too soon to say for sure but the first results are great! _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

hey dw,
thanks for the reply mate.. I have noticed our advertisers are having some problems today.. So that means the site will load slow since we use their servers for ad space..
you may see this url as you are waiting:
ads.intergi.com
i bet thats why its slow at the moment.. Im just sending a support message now to get them to check out their server.. _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:

Yeah, HQ server loads are much lower now. Even running a full server backup on the main server spare drive and the load is far less than before.
The reason is that MySQL is drive based so it constantly has to access the drives. with a server this busy, the database was choking processing power since the drives were having high IO load. It still ran satisfactory but now should be more smooth.
The thing is with things quicker on the HQ server, you will notice more if ads are on slow side now. A slow ad server can delay the page you are looking at regardless if the HQ server has no problem serving the page like Forahobby was saying. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

only other thing we might want to do now is optimize the database since I haven't done that in such a long time.. Since psp-hq and pc-hq aren't going that well it might even be an idea to scrap most of their database sometime in the near future.
