Title: Gamez-Host Temp. Shutdown
Post by: Oblivion on October 06, 2008, 02:48:20 am: As most of you know Gamez-Host was hosting a server in Tremulous called "Dretch*Tsunami" unfortunately we had the Hurricane named IKE come through and made landfall southeast Texas where I am located, the servers are located in Dallas, TX and luckily for us the servers were not effected at all. The shutdown came in through a payment failure which IKE had caused and a financial issues. But the good news is that we will be back online shortly and we will begin to host games of your choice. I'm not sure what section of the forums this belongs in, but feel free to move it. Thanks again for those who have stayed with us while downtime.

My roof was near destroyed and my house and property sustained all sorts of other damage.

Insurance premium kicked my ass.

Sucks :-(

I didn't get affected, but i know friends who were.

This fire was hot enough to melt masonry. That is to say, NOTHING survived. Just empty lots. Roads melted too.

Title: Re: Gamez-Host Temp. Shutdown
Post by: Kaine on November 05, 2008, 09:47:54 pm: Considering it's still not on the server list, and the GH forums have been down for weeks...

It's gone man. Never coming back.

Post by: Oblivion on November 07, 2008, 06:34:17 pm: This is taking longer then I expected. When we come back online, we will have a new staff, new forums, and most of all new servers. At the moment, the phone call I am currently waiting on has yet to come through. I'll be making the call today after work, and see what the plans are. If worst comes to worst, I will atleast put new forums online on my home linux box.

Thanks for those whom are concerned and we will try to get back online asap.

Thanks,
~ Oblivion

Glad to hear this, tyvm Ob.

At the moment we are setting up a small windows server for the time being.

Code: [Select]
Pentium 4 2.4+ 1 GB RAM Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz + Windows Server 2003 - Standard - Unauthenticated - 32 bit 5 IPs 10 Mbps Uplink 750 GB Bandwidth IDE 80 GB IDE/SATA HDD
In a few more days we will order another server.
I'm not sure if I want it to be Linux or Windows yet. I'm debating on Linux because I can do more and use less memory.

Code: [Select]
2 GB RAM Intel Xeon 3040 1.8 GHz Dual Core Processor Windows or Linux 5 IPs 100 Mbps Uplink 1500 GB Bandwidth SATA 250 GB IDE/SATA HDD IPMI
Gamez-Host will be creating a whole new website for the members and newer players.
It will still yet be a week or two before we are up and running fully again.
Gamez-Host is also going to be a dedicated reseller for anyone who wants to buy whole servers!
Thanks again to those who have stuck with us and by our side from the beginning.

Thanks,
~ Oblivion

Post by: _Equilibrium_ on November 11, 2008, 06:44:52 am: Are you able to move over the posts in the old forums, or are we going to start over fresh?
Title: Re: Gamez-Host Temp. Shutdown
Post by: Oblivion on November 11, 2008, 07:26:38 am: Unfortunately no! I was going to backup the php database a day after it got cut off.
The new website with the same domain: http://www.Gamez-Host.net will be online soon. So just hang in there.
Please, if any of you have any suggestions in what forum engines to use please contact me directly @ oblivion@gamez-host.info
Also if anyone is willing to help out with setting up the website and has experience please contact me.

Thanks everyone,
~ Oblivion
