It’s dying. Seriously, we’re trying to get more hardware installed but this box ended up taking one too many. I opened up some space on an East coast server, so if you don’t mind… we would be very happy to see people use the ‘Migrate Server’ feature and move over there!

Update: The kernel took, enjoy the new speed. That concludes all boxes for kernel updates YAY!

Sorry, but its for the better.

Update:
Both boxes are back online with the new kernel.

After those updates filled out, our memory use increased quite a bit… Gamma ended up going over the limit and fell on its face.

You can move off of Gamma. We have space for you in that region ready to go. All you have to do to move is write support at support@hostedgameservers.com and request to be moved to Beta. Your IP/Port will change, but your lag will go away!

Sorry guys! Restart your servers.

This will result in another outage, probably around 30 minutes or so!

We’re sorry in advance. Make sure to save your files and re-start your server after the reboot. We estimate about 30 minutes down time on this one… but it will probably be much less.

This should be the last time we bring this box down for a long time.

Thanks for understanding, everyone on beta.

Update: Kernel is updated and running smooth. Enjoy the better fragging!

When this box is up, you can expect to have a nice clean server to migrate into! This will also open up migrations to the West Coast.

More to come on this box when we get and configure it.

Anyone feel like moving over to beta? Please us the migrate server button in your panel if you don’t mind your IP/Port changing!

This means your Minecraft servers will be halted and its possible you’ll have data loss. Make sure you do a save-all on your servers tonight before they are brought down.

Minecraft saves every 15 minutes or so on its own, but so you dont loose that work, please do frequent manual saves.

Users on beta will need to restart their server after the down time is complete. This post will be updated with the results. With any luck Beta will be able to support 1000 FPS source servers!

UPDATE: We were unable to get a hacked kernel to boot! We’ll be trying again another time… Thank you for understanding!
