I haven’t had much time to talk about it, but yes we here at Punk Labs have been busy. Due to some unforgivable downtime, yet happily received growth on RocketDock.com, we purchased a new server to take on the responsibilities of hosting RocketDock and hopefully all our other sites.

Not counting the new server we have two servers with RocketDock.com being on its own. Although RocketDock is pretty popular it is ridiculous that the server it is currently on cannot support it with out going down once a day. So we took funds thanks to all our very loyal fans who have donated and bought a new setup. I won’t go into too many details regarding the old server, but the new guy is:

Running CentOS Enterprise
CPU : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (4 x 2.4GHZ 8MB Cache 1066)
RAM : 4GB ECC DDR2
Hard Drive : 250GB 7.2k RPM SATAII 16MB Cache
Control Panel : cPanel / WHM
Public Port Speed : 100 Mbs Public
Private Port Speed : 100 Mbs Private
Public Bandwidth : 2000GB Premium Transfer

RocketDock.com has already made the migration over to the new server and the DNS update should (if not already) be propagated. Once we get some good statistics on how the new server is running with just RocketDock.com we will start migrating over all our other sites if the server appears to be able to handle it (and with these specs it should).
